Press:

“Oswald’s song “Speak out” could be an anthem for this generation. “Speak out and shout you’re not alone!”. Oswald- the UK band we have talked about and showcased before…

Sometimes a band comes along and writes a song that makes you want to stand up - and yell - that’s’ what the lyrics of Oswald’s song “Speak out ” tell us to do - stand up and speak out - about whatever injustice you see - you’re not alone. It makes you want to do something about your life or the world - isn’t that the power of great music ?” - mp3musicgrams
