OXYMORRONS release ‘Definition’

• 15th Nov 2021

Continuing the momentum of their ‘Mohawks & Durags’ EP, today New York City-based alternative hip-hop band Oxymorrons have released an eye-catching official music video for the project’s lead single ‘Definition’.

Produced by John Feldmann and Zach Jones, the standout track featuring Fever 333 frontman Jason Aalon has quickly become a fan favorite and garnered massive playlist support. Filmed and edited by Atlanta-based videographer Michael Danners, the ‘Definition’ video is a bold visual blend of NYC punk rock and hip-hop, perfectly capturing the band’s energy and influences, and the song’s rebellious essence. 

‘Definition’ has a profoundly personal message for Oxymorrons, who explained, “This song is an anthem for the people who refuse to be boxed in by society’s status quo. For the individual who fights to stand up and stand out. The definition of the undefined. Repping New York till we die while giving you the biggest soaring hook we could imagine. The Alt-scene is changing and evolving. It’s a microcosm of the global revolution we are currently experiencing. Every revolution needs a soundtrack. We are proud to provide one of the frequencies to said soundtrack; that not only defines us, but also many others! This is bigger than Oxymorrons. This is about the long overdue but necessary evolution that guitar driven music needs! What doesn’t evolve becomes extinct and we refuse to let a musical art form our ancestors architected, be stifled into extinction.”

333 Wreckords Crew label owner and collaborator Jason Aalon added, “I feel this track is an unabashed statement about who this band are as POC people in a musical and cultural space that at one point required you to squeeze yourself within its constructs to be recognized thus abandoning other outside cultural nuances that would inherently make your involvement more unique. To me that would be genuinely alternative. Oxymorrons are the New Testament to the destruction of such constructs and THAT is TRULY alternative.”

Oxymorrons just wrapped their tour run opening for Anti-Flag, including stops at Riot Fest and Aftershock Festival. They’ll be hitting the road again this fall with UK-based pop punk band Neck Deep alongside Boston Manor, Zero 9:36, and Heart Attack Man; dates kick off November 4th in Nashville, TN. During this upcoming tour Oxymorrons will be working with mental health organization Sound Mind (www.soundmindlive.org) and their ‘Road To Recovery’ program in partnership with National Alliance on Mental Illness affiliates around the country. The initiative seeks to amplify awareness around mental health, and increase awareness of and access to critical mental health resources; connecting with fans directly on-site at artists’ merch tables. The ‘Road To Recovery’ program will be available for fans at select US cities, more details to come.
