OCEAN Colour Scene stars looks very different now after shooting to fame in the 90s.
The rock band was made up of frontman Simon Fowler, guitarist Steve Cradock, drummer Oscar Harrison and bass player Damon Minchella.
They rocketed to fame with huge hits and anthems, including The Riverboat Song, The Circle, Traveller’s Tune, Hundred Mile High City and The Day We Caught The Train.
They were formed in Birmingham in 1989 and spent six years fine-tuning their sound before lighting up the Britpop party with three Top five albums; 1996’s Moseley Shoals, 1997’s Marchin’ Already and 1999’s One From The Modern.
Over the last two decades Ocean Colour Scene have notched up nine albums, three of which went top five, and had a run of nine successive Top 20 hit singles including The Riverboat Song in 1996.
They supported rockers Oasis at their massive Loch Lomond and Knebworth shows that same year, and two years later fronted the biggest arena tour of any UK band to date.

Many fans will be delighted to know that they are still going strong.
Earlier this year, they announced a 13-date UK tour for this year.
Ahead of their August tour, Simon said: “After starting with a short run of dates in the summer, it’s going to be great ending the year on the road with Ocean Colour Scene, playing all the hits and more for some proper pre-Christmas partying with our fans.”
While guitarist Steve shared: “This feels like the first proper tour Ocean Colour Scene have done in years.
