Oleander is an American rock band hailing from Sacramento, California, renowned for their post-grunge sound that emerged in the late 1990s. The band is composed of Thomas Flowers (vocals/guitar), Doug Eldridge (bass guitar), Ric Ivanisevich (guitar), and Steve Brown (drums, percussion), whose chemistry and talents have been vital to the band's longevity and success. Oleander gained recognition for their potent blend of melodic songwriting and stirring guitar work, which resonated with fans of the era's alternative rock movement.

The band's breakthrough came with their major-label debut, "February Son," in 1999, which featured the hit single "Why I'm Here." Oleander followed up with their sophomore album "Unwind" in 2001, continuing to establish their presence with tracks like "Are You There?" Their subsequent albums include the energetic "Joyride" in 2003 and, after a hiatus, they marked their return with "Something Beautiful" in 2013, reinforcing their knack for crafting emotive anthems. The title track "Something Beautiful" and "Champion" exemplify their enduring ability to connect with listeners through relatable lyrics and robust musicality. Despite shifts in the music landscape, Oleander has maintained a loyal fan base and continues to contribute to the rich tapestry of alternative rock.
