Profile – Oh, Hush! (2008)
If you have anything to do with MySpace, the chances are you’ve come across Oh, Hush! The internet’s next big thing has been nuturing hype for the last few months and if a little mystery is your thing, you’ll love these guys.
The band consists of roughly five unknown members. That is to say, their identity is currently the equivalent of a state secret. Not that the band members are by any means a fixed thing, by the sounds of it they are still trying to establish who exactly is “in” the band, technically speaking. The reason for all this secrecy is quite simple – they want people to focus on the fans and the music, and not on the members, who may or may not already be familiar faces. The band also makes no apologies for the silly use of punctuation in their name, something they affirmed after the slight drama that followed the sudden loss of Panic at the Disco’s exclamation point. So never fear, there won’t be any separation anxiety here.
Oh, Hush! make ridiculously fun and infectious music, in the vein of Cobra Starship if you will. One of their catchy tunes, ‘Going down in Style’, is currently available for free download on their MySpace, which is regularly updated. A lot of effort goes into truly making this a venture all about the fans. They continue to record new music that makes them happy, and their fans doubly so. Check them out now while the mystery is still fresh, that way the eventual “unmasking” will be a lot more fun.
