New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Melbourne-based band Ocean Grove have signed a worldwide publishing deal with BMG. Emerging from the depths of Melbourne in 2010, Ocean Grove have developed into a pioneering act of the heavy music scene in Australia with a distinguishable sound like no other that the band describes as 'Oddworld'.

Since the release of their first EP Outsider in 2013, Ocean Grove have been engaging new audiences and establishing a highly esteemed name for their evolving sound and erratic live performance. Their genre-bending EP released in 2015, Black Label, showcased their creativity, with multi-talented drummer Sam Bassal overseeing the recording, mixing and mastering process.

2017 saw the highly-anticipated release of the band's debut album The Rhapsody Tapes. The album debuted at number five on the ARIA Album Chart and received a raft of acclaim for its bold experimentation and creation of a unique sound, in what Kerrang! labelled an "intriguingly non-conformist debut", while Hysteria Magazine gave it a flawless five-star rating, calling it "one of the most amazing feats in Australian music". The Rhapsody Tapes also landed Feature Album of the Week on triple j and was dubbed "one of the first great heavy records of 2017" by the station.

On stage, the band's penchant for the bizarre has made Ocean Grove one of the most in-demand acts on Australian stages. The band has earned a broad stretch of interest across Australia and internationally, having toured alongside bands such as August Burns Red, Born of Osiris, Volumes and Fit For A King. Most recently, Ocean Grove performed at Download Festival and supported Limp Bizkit on their Australian tour alongside Of Mice & Men.

Managing Director of BMG Australia, Heath Johns, said, "Ocean Grove are one of the hardest working and most innovative heavy bands in the country - it's a true pleasure to welcome them into the BMG family and we look forward to making a lot of noise together in the future".

Ocean Grove said, "In a move best described as invigorating we have collided with BMG to ensure the publishing of our music worldwide. This feels like the missing piece to the puzzle when it comes to the representation and bolstering of our musical catalogue. Many discussions were had but we are happy to know we signed off on the deal we wanted, best suited to all parties involved. We met with the BMG team in Sydney and it has to be said that they are a switched-on bunch that are already securing us some next level opportunities and taking our music to new places".

Ocean Grove join a publishing roster of Australian talent that also includes Peking Duk, Dead Letter Circus, LDRU, SAFIA, Golden Features, KLP, AC/DC, Wolfmother, Lance Ferguson, The Living End, Meg Mac, Drapht, Montaigne, Matt Corby, Jesse Porsches, Tigerilla, Running Touch and more.
