Osterman Split

[Sheriff John Bunell]

For those of you who are onn the IATDE mailing list, you'll probably already know... But, The Osterman Weekend have split up.

Left To Yesterday were mentioned on the Mailshot too;

"In At The Deep End Records - the label that brought us the immense mini-album from Manchester hardcore outfit Beecher (see demo review section) - have done it again. The Osterman Weekend, Derby's finest post-hardcore/emo/whatever-this-new-movement-is-meant-to-be-called-anyway band, are here with a debut recording that'll make your mouth open. It's not quite enough to make your jaw drop, but it's not too far away.
Think Hundred Reasons. Think Jimmy Eat World. Think of some of the most beautiful sex you ever had and translate it to music. The Osterman Weekend are that great sex. Opening effort 'Flavour of the Month' is a one of those good ol' epic tracks, full of jangly guitar formations and aching vocals that point appreciatively at bands like The Movielife and maybe even Silverchair at times. These nu-mo themes are carried throughout the disc, through the more Hundred Reasons-tinged 'Milestone' to the masterful delicacy of 'Iron On', the latter triggering memories of Smashing Pumpkins at their most beautiful. Don't be fooled though - there are some negatives to the recording. Principally, the production in places is noticeably lacking. That said, not everybody has access to the finest equipment and producers when they cut their first industry sampler.
Personally, I was crying out for better vocal projection on the part of Adz, but again, this is something that will improve as the band mature and confidence grows. Along with Cleethorpes' Left To Yesterday, The Osterman Weekend are well worth your pennies."

Yeah, that's about it. In the newsletter it said that we should expect side projects from them.
