OMD COME TO BEXHILL-ON-SEA THIS NOVEMBER

English new wave/synthpop act, OMD, developed a strong fan base in the 80s, before returning to the fore in 2006, selling over 40 million records worldwide.



Signed first to Factory Records and then snapped up by Virgin, the duality inherent in OMD was plain to see from the start, as Peter Savilles minimalist artwork belied the warmth of Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys timeless songwriting.

Described by The Quietus as not just one of the best synth bands ever they are one of the best bands ever, OMDs influence has become ubiquitous. The xx, the Killers and LCD Soundsystems James Murphy have cited OMD as an inspiration, and the likes of Future Islands and Chvrches show traces of OMDs DNA.

Now they return with their thirteenth album The Punishment of Luxury, a daring collection of stylish synth-pop and masterful songcraft that sees OMD edge out of their comfort zone without compromising their integrity. Its almost like weve gone back to being teenagers after all these years, says Andy. We just do whatever we want and theres no record company to tell us what we can or cant do.
