Oxford Collapse were an indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York. The members include Michael Pace on vocals & guitars, Dan Fetherston on drums and Adam Rizer on bass & vocals.

History

Oxford Collapse first released a limited press self-titled EP for the HCR label in 2002.

Shortly after they signed to Kanine Records, a label based in New York City/Brooklyn, where they released their first full-length album Some Wilderness in April 2004. This was followed by a remix of a track from the album titled "Melting the Ice Queen" in July of that year.

In October, the band released a 7" vinyl EP, entitled Songs For The Singers Of Panthers, on Discoloration Records before releasing their final effort from Kanine Records, A Good Ground.

The band then signed to indie label Sub Pop, where they released Remember The Night Parties in October 2006. The album earned a 7.9 out of 10 from Pitchfork Media, who also rated "Please Visit Your National Parks" 96th in their year-end "Top 100 Tracks of 2006" feature.

The latest studio album Bits was released on August 5, 2008. They supported We Are Scientists on their UK tour.

In June 2009, the band announced their split after eight years together.[1]

Mike Pace has subsequently gone on to form the band The Child Actors, who released their first single in March 2012.[2]
