Clean Head is Oceana's first EP, and a follow-up to their second release Birth.Eater. The album was written with the intent of being the B-sides to Birth.Eater and covers similar topics. The record focuses primarily around the idea of finding beauty in life through whatever way you see fit. This album shows a vast sound change and maturity of the band as a whole and was very well received by fans and critics. Clean Head will be released as a Hot Topic exclusive, and on various online distribution services. This new EP has a total of four songs. The album was released on May 11, 2010.[1] "Birth.Eater" will also be re-released by Distort Entertainment, with the four new EP tracks.[2] This is also the last release to feature guitarist Jack Burns as well as the last to feature the "Oceana" name.
