New York, NY | March 3, 2016 – Propelled by recent successes and a stack of diverse singles, Oxymorrons are undeniably making their mark on the music landscape. The Queens-based quintet are captivating audiences with their bold, no-rules approach to musical creation, resulting in an eclectic blend of urban and alternative influences. The bands refreshing sound fused with their engaging and entertaining live performances (on tour this April with Waka Flocka Flame!) set them apart and many are taking notice. Recently the band unveiled a somber yet entrancing new track, “Hello Me”, to an overwhelmingly positive reception via Tommy Boy Entertainment. The White Indian produced single has been described as “infusing elements from Rock, Pop & Hip-Hop in a seamless fashion, and done in a way that only they could pull off” (Good Music All Day) and as the kind of song that “sticks with you for days and weeks” (Consequence of Sound). Adding another layer to the records story of loss, Oxymorrons teamed up with director Eric Schneider of Mutable Films to create a music video to further embody the message.
What Deee shares about the inspiration behind the treatment: “Hello Me’ is about reflecting on and getting reacquainted with who you were and how you felt before losing something or someone special. It’s not about mourning it’s about reflecting, embracing and celebrating not only who you were, but also who you are. In the video we are in deep thought reflecting on special moments and relationships, while the actors show the narrative of a man reflecting on a time and feelings he had before he lost that special someone. We celebrate together at the end to show that we are embracing our present selves, while celebrating our reconnection with past emotions.”

About Oxymorrons:
Oxymorrons began as collaboration between Queens-bred brothers, K.I. and Deee, who joined forces to cultivate a sound that modern music can no longer turn its back on. After years spent playing and touring with other groups the brothers decided it was time to set the New York scene ablaze with their sonic creations. The lineup expanded with the addition of staple drummer Matty Mayz, whose blistering talent along side bassist Joe Jordan and guitarist Adam November has become an intricate part of the bands live show. The genre-blending masterminds use their musical platform to speak for, and to, the rejected. Their message of embracing ones individuality resonates with their fellow underdogs.
The potent mixture of the bands sharp-witted lyrics and mesmerizing music has earned them a legion of loyal fans and inspired collaborations with Travie McCoy, Saba, Sam Gongol (Marian Hill), Maxine Ashley (Pharrell/I am OTHER) and Wynter Gordon. Oxymorrons caught attention with their undeniable artistry and found synergy in brand partnerships with RedBull, Converse, Rocawear, DeadBolt, Karmaloop, and Modify Watches. It’s their captivating live show full of non-stop energy that has music lovers entranced. The band has played many notable festivals including SXSW, Firefly, AfroPunk, Funk Fest, CMJ and have shared the stage with dynamic acts like Lupe Fiasco, Common, Ludacris, Juicy J, Gym Class Heroes, Bruno Mars, Bad Rabbits, Rihanna, Salt N Pepa, Danny Brown, and more.
Oxymorrons are currently gearing up to release their new project, ‘Complex But Basic,’ in mid-2016 with indie label Tommy Boy Entertainment. They’ll soon be unleashing an onslaught of ear-catching singles, imaginative music videos and taking their energetic live show on the road.
