With two Number One Alternative Radio hits under their belts with previous singles, The Way It Works and Something, Ōtepoti/Dunedin four-piece, Soaked Oats return with their call-out track, Headline Opinion.

Lead vocalist and lyricist, Oscar Mein, comments pithily, “Headline Opinion is a song about the news. How we serve it, how we consume it, how we regurgitate it, how we serve it again and…”

The track is accompanied with a video of old newspaper headlines & clippings compiled by Mein gathered from decades of old microfilm.

Headline Opinion is the third single from Soaked Oats’ upcoming album, Working Title to be released November 18th, 2022 on Australian indie tastemaker label Dot Dash/Remote Control via Rhythmethod Distribution in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
