Off Black

Off Black is a Philadelphia-based indie rock outfit fronted by vocalist/guitarist Kyle Press, known for their emotionally charged songs that blend punchy punk energy with melodic sensibilities. Emerging in 2016, the band has carved out a space in the DIY scene with releases like *American Dream*, *For Love*, and *Getting Dark*—tracks that balance gritty guitar work with lyrics tackling modern anxieties and personal reflection. Drawing comparisons to acts like The Menzingers and The Hold Steady, they’ve built a reputation for cathartic live shows and a no-frills approach to storytelling. While maintaining a relatively low profile nationally, Off Black has cultivated a loyal following through consistent touring and a sound that feels both nostalgic and urgently present.
