Mike Vennart envisioned becoming a shredder – but instead he ended up in Oceansize, blending alt rock, space rock and post-rock. He doesn’t know how he got there. “It’s just music; it’s all music,” he says. “Being such a fan of Slayer and Pavement hasn’t necessarily done my career any favors. But what are you going to do?”
He does, however, appreciate the impact Oceansize had. “Sleep Token are big fans of what we did, and they're the biggest fucking rock band in the world right now. That means a lot. But I don’t listen to Oceansize. I don’t listen to any of my stuff; I just make it.”
