Oceano Vocalist Adam Warren Comments on the Band’s “Funeral”
Sooooooooo earlier this week, beloved band Oceano was named as being on the bill for a tour run by one of the most hated bands—Attila. Called the “American Rejects Tour” (why did the All American Rejects have to low-key catch a stray here?), the tour was supposed to feature the two aforementioned bands, along with Dealer and Nathan James. After mucho de flack from fans, Warren basically said fuck all y’all and decided to disband Oceano altogether.
Warren refers to it as “the funeral,” with the band opting for a series of their own shows in lieu of being a part of Attila’s touring shit show. The funeral shows will, if it wasn’t obvious enough, be Oceano’s last shows ever.
As a reminder, we can’t stand Attila for many reasons, but the fact that three of their members (one former) were accused of sexual assault was really the nail in the coffin. As well, Dealer’s Aidan Ellaz Holmes faced similar allegations back in 2018.
After a lengthy diatribe on Twitter, Warren added to it with a statement he made on Facebook yesterday, November 22:
“Oceano had no other tour plans lined up for the year so that allows us to focus on pushing forward smothly with the Funeral of Oceano:
“We have started Talks and planning directly with our team on our final shows ever in 2025. (I must prepare you, Oceano is never coming back after these shows happen. sorry, and if you’re those few truly happy about it? Me too. I’m getting too old for this shit lol).
“The Funeral will be a unique experience and A fun send off for the REAL Oceano fans, friends, and family. I have been in talks with old friends abroad and from back home to have their bands or business be involved. I’m excited about being able to be super hands on with this! More news to come! Meantime, Enjoy the new album “Living Chaos” It’s litterally the Last Oceano Album EVER to be done! Me and Scott are very proud of it! And I’m proud of SCOTT for writing such amazing heavy music. You all should work with and pay Scott (our guitarist/composer) to help you produce music. He’s a genius at it and I think he’d be greatly successful with it if he chose to work with a few good artists here and there. Js. As for me I’m already focusing on my Solo Music / Live Rehearsals for my solo project down in Texas. I’ve been releasing music solo since 2022. So Moving on from Oceano, You can find all my music at ADAM ON EARTH on All Platforms right now. Much love. Forward NEVER backwards.”
