Oldham based post-punk band - One Dimensional Creatures - set to release sixth single

One Dimensional Creatures have announced the launch of their sixth single, March in Line, which will be released on August 30 on streaming and download platforms.

March in Line kicks-off with an angry riff on guitar that’s quickly joined by a massive bass as the song erupts into a distorted mass of heavy instruments.

The drums pound, driving the track forward with aggression.

The vocals show the duality of the politicians and oligarchs that control us.

Ste sings with an almost soothing voice about being a friend and how they will help us, playing the role of a member of the ruling class.

Ollie contrasts this with quick harsh shouts telling us to “get in line!”.

The track climaxes in a chorus of “march in line!” where the opposing voices are joined by jarring, edgy lead riffs from Chris and massive, pounding bassy toms from Ventura.

Lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Ste Wilson, said: “The track shows how the ruling class pretend to be doing what is best for us, but really they just want to control us to line their pockets."

The cover art was painted by Paul Wilson and is a scene on the Manchester Ship Canal, featuring the four band members as shadowesque silhouettes near a wall covered in graffiti.

The single, March in Line, features March in Line (Radio Edit), a clean, radio friendly version.

One Dimensional Creatures will be playing March in Line at gigs from now on and the track will feature on their up-coming, yet to be named, debut album.

One Dimensional Creatures, aka One Dimes, are a four-piece alternative punk/postpunk/grunge band based in Oldham.

Their music features heavy distorted guitars with flowing edgy lead lines and driving beats.

Their punk-infused lyrics focus on UK politics and equality for all.

They have accrued over 150k Spotify plays, with tracks being featured on radio stations both nationally and internationally.

They draw on a range of influences such as IDLES, Soft Play, Sprints, Show Me the Body, Protomartyr, Nirvana, Idlewild, The Pixies, QOTSA, and Sonic Youth.
