Hemel Hempstead, England, United Kingdom
About
<a href="spotify:artist:40lg2snKlWmw3rah6jq8hR" data-name="OWES">OWES</a> hail from Hemel Hempstead, UK. Formed and thwarted almost immediately in the haze of 2020 they found themselves confined to isolation and a completely remote means of creating. A flurry of songs emerged and a series of demos known as “source DEMOgraphics” was released on SoundCloud soon after. Over time their live shows have exhibited a concoction of grunge, electronic, punk and pop delivered with a restrained fury and a degree of mysticism. The wheels seem to be coming off at any given moment but the vehicle always just about remains intact. Their debut EP, “<a href="spotify:album:0MvZfcsZjnnuUMbuUh3Hvo" data-name="THE 'FRIENDS IN DARK PLACES' EP">THE 'FRIENDS IN DARK PLACES' EP</a> ” was released in the summer of 2023, accompanied by the single “ <a href="spotify:track:5TFryFVhbgPczJgND5Q7y5" data-name="money's worth">money's worth</a> ”, which has become a stalwart in their live performances. After a period of convalescence they released the single “<a href="spotify:album:53xuoxm3cs4qyiINyNbpej" data-name="grad stuff">grad stuff</a> ” with very little by way of introduction in September 2024. As we approach and cross five years of OWES, the time elapsed since formation and the urgency to take their craft to the next level is not lost on them. With the five year mark being on 13/02/2025, they played a set jam packed with songs old and new at London’s Signature Brew, Haggerston. This also saw in their latest single, “ <a href="spotify:track:28CFeAiysEbKQP2KIlT0GF" data-name="because i love him">because i love him</a> ”, which was released on Valentine’s Day. “I think they’re really good”. - Dàvid Mincér, August 2024 “One of the UK indie scene’s most intriguing prospects” . - Happy Mag, February 2025
