O'Death

O'Death is an American band from New York City that thrives on bringing together an eclectic blend of folk, bluegrass, punk rock, and alternative country, creating a raw and energetic sound that is uniquely their own. Taking their name from a traditional American folk song, the band originated in 2003 and quickly gained recognition for their lively and unvarnished live shows as well as their ability to fuse diverse musical genres into a cohesive and accessible sound. The group's lineup has centered around Greg Jamie (vocals, guitar), Gabe Darling (banjo, ukulele, backing vocals), David Rogers-Berry (drums), Jesse Newman (violin), and Bob Pycior (fiddle), whose synergy translates into a powerful musical experience both on recordings and in live performances.

Through their impressive discography, comprised of albums such as "Head Home" (2007), "Broken Hymns, Limbs and Skin" (2008), "Outside" (2011), and "Out Of Hands We Go" (2014), O'Death has established a strong presence within the indie music scene. Their songs often explore macabre and existential themes, typically set against the contrast of engaging, up-tempo arrangements. Even with their darker lyrical content, there's a palpable sense of community and resilience in their music that resonates deeply with fans. Their additional releases like "Low Tide b/w I Think I'm Fine" and their contribution to the "Gigantic Singles Series" showcase their continuous evolution while staying true to their distinct sound that often feels like a raucous, end-of-the-world hoedown.
