Oslo Announce Release Of 'The Rise And Fall Of Love And Hate' And Tour

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Six Feet / Sidecho) - Oslo will set out on tour this Fall in support of their new album THE RISE AND FALL OF LOVE AND HATE. Oslo, comprised of songwriting trio MATTIA BORRANI (lead vocals, guitars), KERRY WAYNE JAMES (bass) and GABRIAL McNAIR (guitars, backing vocals), as well as Damon Ramirez (keys) and Charlie Walker (drums/ percussion) has enjoyed much success independent of any label support. Their emotive and engaging live shows and self-titled, self-produced debut release (2005) garnered significant buzz and coverage from RollingStone, Billboard, Music Edge, LA Weekly and the Los Angeles Times, which named Oslo one of the top 10 bands to download in the Fall of 2006.

Oslo's forthcoming sophomore release "The Rise and Fall of Love and Hate," which they co-produced with Grammy Nominated engineer/mixer Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Mickey P (Beck, Peaches, The Eels) and Sam Fogarino (Drummer, Interpol) is already receiving warm reception from radio, including Indie 103's Check One Two... and new song "Rhyme or Reason" was featured on the Season Finale of The Unit. The album also features guest appearances by Adrian Young, Melissa Auf Der Maur, Paz Lechantin and Ana Lechantin.

The critical acclaim of both their live shows and their debut release underscores not only the band's onstage showmanship but the complexity and depth with which they compose music. Rich in texture, melody and fervor the Oslo sound conveys a layered listening experience that is as intricate as it is intelligent and evocative. "Oslo have the chops, tunes and aura to influence rather than be influenced. It's time for a liberating leap into originality's embrace," said LA Weekly's Paul Rogers.
