OVEN is a reaction to existence. OVEN is Harrisburg’s response to urban sprawl, eminent domain, unrequited eggplant emojis, cringeworthy low comodenomiator streaming programs- the revolution will
be on non-fungible tokens.
Members Robby (drums, vocals), Randy (bass, vocals) and Chris (guitars, backup vocals) met at a record swap, wrestling over the only copy of a Sonic Youth record. They forged OVEN out of cast iron following a short-lived Ashlee Simpson tribute band. OVEN is the soundtrack to you and your friends getting together and racing washing machines until the sun comes up.
OVEN is not a band. OVEN is appliance rock.

OVEN – Fantasy Island (2024 Hi Way Recordings)
“What’s that on the cover? Is it a psychedelic umbrella as seen through a prism? Or just a bunch of mushrooms scattered on a hillside?”
OVEN: “See man, that’s exactly what it is.”
Wanna know if there’s a snake in the Snake Room? Don’t ask stupid fucking questions in the Snake Room. We’re talking about serious art. And don’t ask a minor poet to review your record because they’ll inflict themselves into the review process. You won’t be able to get the smell of
patchouli out of your living room drapes for weeks.
OVEN’s nine track debut LP starts with a school bell intro before bursting into the OVEN theme. All bands should have a theme song on their record. It’s classy. Sets the tone for the evening. Last thing I recall was brewing up mushroom tea in the basement. I woke up on the couch listening to the Butthole Surfers on the wrong speed.
DEF DEAF is the song for riding abandoned wooden rollercoasters. By SOLID GOLD you will realize OVEN gets their t-shirts printed on heavy cotton. Let’s plug our amps into the dishwasher. I hear
the sound of two sewing machines making out in the dark corner of the room.

JAY EYE is short burst of jagged goodness with just the right amount of Beat It.
Pescatarian (Single / video. A song about what you’re eating tonight and what your ex-girlfriend smells like. Building the American Dream one GIF at a time. You’ll get up close and smell your cell phone screen)
Album closes with the five-minute NFT. A song about improving your business acumen. How to invest your paper route or baby-sitting money on Non-Fungible Tokens in nine easy steps including a theme song. These guys are onto to something here. This album is a 33 minute fuzz-a-delic gem. Youcan find it on Bandcamp. Don’t let a minor poet write your record review because they’ll just ruin it.
