Australian hardcore band Ovtsider are storming into 2021 with a brutal new single and video, “Coward”. Produced, mixed and mastered by Sam Yates of DREGG, “Coward” follows on from last years raw offering, “Blood“, featuring Daybreak‘s Shaun Cox by questioning why those in denial of destructive behavior always have an excuse.

“The main character has been confronted and questioned on their actions and has tried to justify them with poor attempts. Instead of realizing what they’ve done, they continue to try and crawl their way back in by justifying it to themselves, when really everyone can see who they are. They are just digging a deeper grave. The song is incredibly personal, with not a whole lot of effort given to be cryptic because sometimes people just need a wake up call… again.“

explains vocalist Tom Drizners.

The brand new track will also be showcased for the first time on February 19th at Volta in Ballarat, tickets available at Eventbrite.

“Here in Australia we pride ourselves on having some of the hardest-hitting heavy music out there, and they rarely hit harder than Adelaide four piece Ovtsider, who are staking their claim to the upper echelons of the scene with a monster new single called ‘Coward’! This unrelenting new track … wastes no time in clubbing you over the head, and mercilessly continues to deprive you of the chance to catch your breath until the very end.”

“Coward” is out now and available on streaming platforms everywhere.
