The band consisted of Michael Pace (vocals, guitar), Adam Rizer (vocals, bass) and Dan Fetherston (drums). The band announced their split in June 2009
A sustained, freewheeling nod to the great ghosts of American independent rock (The Embarrassment, R.E.M., Volcano Suns, et al) – economically reinforced by the trio of guitarist Michael Pace, bassist Adam Rizer and drummer Dan Fetherston.
Oxford Collapse first released a limited press self-titled EP for the HCR label in 2002 (Oxford Collapse (EP)).
Shortly after they signed to Kanine Records, a label based in New York City/Brooklyn, where they released their first full-length album Some Wilderness in April of 2004. This was followed by a remix of a track from the album titled "Melting The Ice Queen" (Melting The Ice Queen (Remix)) in July of that year.
In October 2004, the band released a 7" vinyl EP, entitled Songs For The Singers Of Panthers, on Discoloration Records before releasing their final effort from Kanine Records, A Good Ground.
The band then signed to indie label Sub Pop, where they released Remember The Night Parties in October of 2006. The album earned a 7.9 out of 10 from Pitchfork Media, who also rated "Please Visit Your National Parks" 96th in their year-end "Top 100 Tracks of 2006" feature.
The latest studio album BITS was released on August 5th, 2008. They have recently supported We Are Scientists on their UK tour.

You should be standing right next to me
Instead of two feet in front of me
You've got, you’ve got, you've got your limbs
All the way-'ay, ’ay-'ay, 'ay-'ay down to your roots
You've got, you've got, you've got your limbs
All the way-'ay, ’ay-’ay, 'ay-’ay down to your roots
You should be standing right next to me
Instead of two feet in front of me, oh, oh, oh
Go learn your geography
Woah, and I'm not
Forget, forget, forget those teeth
Always, yay-'ays, yay-'ays cut through so easily
Forget, forget, forget those teeth
Always, yay-’ays, yay-'ays cut through so easily
You should be standing right next to me
Instead of two feet in front of me, oh, oh, oh
Go learn your geography
Woah, and I'm not
You've got, you've got, you've got your limbs
All the way-'ay, 'ay-'ay, 'ay-'ay down to your roots
Forget, forget, forget those teeth
Always, yay-'ays, yay-'ays cut through so easily
You should be standing right next to me
Instead of two feet in front of me, oh, oh, oh
Go learn your geography
Woah, and I'm not

I still have the vinyl version from 2006 and listen to it at least once a week. Can’t understand why they weren’t bigger?

I fuckin love the first drum fill and how it's offbeat, then sped up to to get back on beat before the next measure. So awesome.
