The Ovines release “Two Bucks and a Bottle of Ketchup” EP
When The Ovines set out to record Two Bucks and a Bottle of Ketchup, they weren’t just making music, they were documenting the messy raw chaos of modern life. Five tracks of emotional release, biting social commentary, and unfiltered honesty, the EP reflects the struggles, laughter, and grit that define the band’s journey. There’s a working class defiance in their approach, marrying rebellious punk attitudes with a party-band looseness, drawing as much from the dub reggae roots of Fat Freddy’s Drop as from punk’s raw energy. The Ovines have been shaking up the UK scene since 2017 with their raucous, genre-hopping guitar sound that resists easy categorisation.
'With The Ovines its missions accomplished every time' - NME
London-based with roots in Kent, the band is built on brotherhood, a connection that bleeds into their music, turning every gig and every milestone into something electric. Their chaotic live shows have earned them support slots with Buzzcocks, The Libertines, The Sherlocks, King Prawn, and Spear of Destiny. Beneath the tongue-in-cheek humour and rowdy energy lies a lyrical focus on the grind of adult life, themes of mental health, financial pressure, and late-twenties disillusionment run through their songs.
At their core, The Ovines are about connection and catharsis. “It’s heart with attitude, a cry for those trying to make it through the day while the world turns a blind eye.”
The EP rollout begins with lead single Mind of Mine, out July 18th. The full EP drops on July 25th, followed by a launch party on July 31st at East London’s Signature Brew Haggerston. Endorsed by Gibson London, The Ovines’ Two Bucks and a Bottle of Ketchup, recorded at The Albion Rooms in Margate with producer Bill Gautier (Paul McCartney-Wings, "Fast" Eddie Clarke, The Cure, Brian May) offers a snapshot of frustration and a celebration of survival...
