Cutting his teeth on garage bands, piano strings and chamber orchestras, Oliver Richard now fuses hellish guitar with angelic vocals, fat synths and tripped out percussion to create a one man wall of sound.

In 2013, Oliver’s First Take Cover Sessions won the attention of Grimtale Records (USA); they released three tracks on 7″ vinyl and cassette.

In 2016, his “White Finger” E.P. was released on 10″ vinyl, followed by a second 7″ single in 2018. Soon after, “Approach Me Like A Lion” was chosen by David-Bowie-producer Tony Visconti as the winning entry for Dubreq’s 2018 songwriting competition. This became the B-side to Oliver’s 2019 7″ single “They Don’t Deserve Me”.

In 2020, the single “Fierce Ghosts” featuring Craig John Davidson was released on Halloween. A year later, Nick Cave highly praised Oliver’s cover of “Star Charmer” (a Grinderman track) after spotting him in the crowd during a 2021 gig in Scotland.

In 2024 Oliver Richard released his first new material in four years; the single “Lightning Dream” came out in August.
