Rock trio Oswald’s Revenge has delivered a refreshing, high-energy edge to the Taylor Swift track “CANCELLED!”, released on December 12. Following the launch of their self-titled debut full-length, the band’s latest offering swaps pop polish for addictive rock hooks and gritty vocal performances. The group, known for their “serendipitous” chemistry and DIY passion, describes the cover as a playful nod to their connection with “TayTay” and a celebration of those who find themselves misunderstood by the elite. This release continues the momentum of their recent album, which features fan-favorite singles like “Turn the Lights Out!” and “Choking Me Sweetly.”
The self-titled record serves as a sonic journey for the band, documenting a transition from self-doubt to deep appreciation for others. Lyrically and musically, the album represents years of dedication from three artists who found common ground in their creative ideals, proving that the artistic path can be a source of joy rather than just a struggle. By blending the vulnerability found in original tracks like “Glow” and “Ghost” with the abrasive energy of their new Swift cover, Oswald’s Revenge is solidifying their place in the rock scene as a band that doesn’t take itself too seriously while still delivering powerful performances.
