Betty & Oswald

“JUST when you think this song [Schmuck] has lost its way, they tie it all back up by the end and you want to go straight back to the start.” ⅘ stars - Richard Kingsmill, Triple J “[SCHMUCK] is a slinky little jam that oozes 70s charm and a grungy disco feel...There is nothing not to love about this band.” - Pilerats “...PERHAPS most impressive of all were Betty & Oswald...they played with wit, warmth and energy, at once inspired by a swathe of genres, and yet seemingly so fresh as to be inspired by nothing at all. Indeed, in many ways, the day belonged to them...there are bands out there like Betty & Oswald who you have never heard of, playing music with the power to alter the direction of your life. All you need to do is listen.” - Review: Newtown Festival, The Brag "WHILE commencing with clarity, and a purposeful summer-chasing passion, "Schmuck"...eventually divulges into a beautifully muddled mess...This strange — and stoned — free-form breakout not only showcases the band's wonderfully structureless side, but also frees "Schmuck" from the formulaic indie-pop mould.” - Rolling Stone Australia “NOT only are they highly talented musicians that could put many to shame – we were incredibly impressed with their intelligence and sharp wit...There is a confidence in their sound that doesn’t follow the overly done hipster scene – there’s folky hippie influences, gritty reggae inspired electric guitars awash with reverb – then of course, the entire sound is drenched in Australian sun.” - Review: Canadian Music Week, Toronto Paradise https://soundcloud.com/betty-oswald
