Oceansize were a British rock band, formed in Manchester, England in 1998. The band consisted of Mike Vennart (vocals, guitar), Steve Durose (guitar, backing vocals), Richard "Gambler" Ingram (guitar, keyboards), Mark Heron (drums) and Jon Ellis (bass guitar) for the majority of its career, with Steve Hodson replacing Ellis on bass in 2006. The band released four studio albums, in addition to a number of minor EPs and singles, and can be categorized variously as progressive rock, post-rock, alternative rock, new prog and space rock, among other genres. Following a twelve-year career, Oceansize announced their split in February 2011,[1]with the members moving on to different projects.
Oceansize were named after the Jane's Addiction song "Ocean Size". According to guitarist Gambler, the band's then-bassist Jon Ellis came up with the name: "I think, at the time, he was thinking what we would sound like. Jane’s Nothing's Shocking album, which has the track "Ocean Size" on it, was definitely a big influence."[2]

Catalyst.
When I awoke with a start today, determination was set.
Filled with expectation, sacks of soul to collect.But I am so fearful of the future,
Ignorant of the present,
And wary of the past.
And through the door
I shuffle quietly down the hall,
Identical corridors and artificial lights.
The man in the box, born to set my world to rights,
Effortlessly soon ignites the screaming in my head.
Reborn, the catalyst will blow my joy away.
I bet you thought that I'd have so much more to say.
Come save me now (x2).
But I am so fearful of the future,
Ignorant of the present, I'm wary of the past.
Well, I don't want to,
But it's now a case of HAVE to!
I piss away for pittance,
Suck up to the man.
No wonder - I'm tired
When I awoke - with - a start today.
