Hardcore / Free Jazz
Same Time
About
Mowder Oyal is a collective of musicians and multidisciplinary artists that make hardcore punk and free jazz at the same time. With musician and arts lawyer Adam Holofcener on guitar, Konjur Collective’s Bashi Rose on percussion, and Mind On Fire's James Young on bassoon, Mowder Oyal (phonetic Baldamore-ese for “motor oil”) is a sonic supergroup providing the soundtrack for the there-is-never-not-a-pandemic-goin'-on era we are all indefinitely in. Frequent collaborators include bassist Rohan Pathare and multireedist Jamal Moore. Past members include founding vocalist SHAN Wallace (AKA Lor Ugly Yo) and phenom MC Eze Jackson.
