ODLAW - Cabins

Cabins is a indie pop track inspired by Eli Roth's 2002 B-grade horror film Cabin Fever. It's the first taste of things to come from WA four piece Odlaw.

Odlaw are a indie rock 4 piece from Perth WA, The band came together when songwriters Mark Neal (The Disappointed), and Ben Macri (The Words), each performed a solo acoustic set on the same bill in a much loved Fremantle venue. The boys soon employed Nicole Clissa and Will Blackburn as Rhythm section and began rehearsing, and writing. Odlaw are currently working on their Debut EP due out mid 2014

Engineered and produced by William Blackburn and Cameron O'Loughlin
Mixed and mastered by Dr Alien Smith at Bergerk

Cabins

Nicole tried to walk our dog Millenium Falcon and ride her bike at the same time. (thats actually her name, we call her Mille for short. She knows that she can crush death stars) I wrote a song about it, it never made it to full band rehearsals.

Don't fall off (super demo iphone fun time recording)

COYOTE is the first single off our debut album 'Regret City' coming sometime in the near future.

Coyote - New single 2016

CHUMPS is the second single from Odlaw’s upcoming debut album Regret-City. due out in early 2017.

CHUMPS was written after the 2015 WAM Festival and conference, so it only seems fitting that they would launch it during this years WAM Festival. Songwriter Mark Neal keeps himself busy, between acting as manager for other bands, booking gigs, working on various events, and running a radio show on RTRFM. These opportunities have earnt him an interesting perspective into the background discussions surrounding an event like WAM Festival. 

CHUMPS was written about a discussion respected members of the music community were having about a particular individual who falls into a category referred to as ‘punishers’. A ‘punisher’ is someone who is annoying as fuck, and often the artist he represents is terrible or irrelevant. In particular this ‘punisher’ was so annoying he causes major labels and industry leaders to vacate a venue, which in turn could mean a hard working band/artist misses out on a well deserved opportunity because there's no important industry people watching them play.

If you don’t know a ‘punisher’ then you could be a ‘punisher’. 

CHUMPS is about a certain ‘punisher’ that was discussed in great details at WAM Festival last year. “I can’t remember his name, I’ve never met him, but I hear he kinda sucks.” Mark recants “oblivious is selfish is a direct quote from a festival director about a person, I quote, ‘who is a piece of shit’”
