Mixing elements of pop punk, power pop, and the influence of early '80s hardcore punk, Otisburg strikes a geek driven chord with hooks, harmonies, and a great pop sensibility. Straight forward and no-frills, Otisburg plays quirky punk rock for nerds. Pocket protectors not included.

Born Yesterday Now Available!
Born Yesterday is now available for your listening pleasure (or displeasure) at Virb.com.
It will soon be available for download (Right now it is only available for streaming).
The decision was made to release this album as an internet-only release. This decision was reached due partly to financial constraints but also due to the fact that we really aren't in this for the money so we figured we would just release it for those that wanted to hear it and try to get the word out to those who don't know us.

Artwork Near Completion!
Sorry it has taken so long to update this thing.
The artwork has been coming along very slowly since I last updated this but finally picked back up here a few days ago.
The artwork is all but done and the CD should be ready to go to print within a couple of weeks (or sooner even!).
I will try and remain diligent in updating this site to keep you all updated on when Born Yesterday will finally be released.

Born Yesterday Update
So here is a bit of good news in an otherwise dreary situation.
It appears that the rough mixes for "Goodbye California" were somewhat salvageable after what I like to call the Great Hard-Drive Crash of 2006. Scott has been working very hard at getting a final mix for that song completed.
Along with that song, we have some other stuff that we should be able to piece together and package with the final mix of "Goodbye California" and get Born Yesterday released, although, only as an E.P.
No clue as to any thoughts of a release date but stay tuned. I will be sure to keep you informed.

The Bad News is.....
There is no gentle way of saying this. A couple of weeks ago the hard drive which stored our music files crashed. Unfortunately, there was no backup so this resulted in all of the rough mixes that were done for the Born Yesterday CD were lost. The end result of this of course being that there will not be a Born Yesterday CD released any time soon.

Release Date Unknown
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, the anticipated release date of the CD will not be early July. In fact, it might not be in July at all.
At this time, we are unsure of the time frame we will be able to release it but will be sure to keep you updated as events warrant.
In other news, we would like to announce that the title of the CD will be BORN YESTERDAY.
Stay tuned!

More Album Updates
This weekends session for the new Otisburg EP went very well. Steve came in to the home studio to do both his guitar parts and his vocals all on Saturday. I was a bit apprehensive about our odds of getting everything finished that quickly, but of course things went just fine.
First of all, Steve came in and for the most part just nailed his parts dead on. Second, we were much better prepared for this than ever before from an engineering standpoint. I knew exactly how I wanted to mic everything and except for the time spent dialing in guitar tones, it was pretty much just a matter of setting levels and hitting record.
Thankfully the efficiency level we were working at was a Godsend because about halfway through the session there was a car crash out in front of the home studio and we rushed outside to help. Nobody was hurt but my parked truck was run into as part of it, unfortunately. It suffered some pretty minor damage and it sounds like their insurance is going to cover it so no harm no foul. The only issue is we lost about an hour and a half getting everything sorted out and waiting for the police to come take a report and so on. But then we just went in and kept trucking and finished the vocals up around 6pm. So all in all it was about a 6 hour session.
The situation with the recording now is that all the raw vocal, bass, guitar, and drum tracks are finished. There may be some drum overdubs well want to do listening back. In addition, a lot of background vocals need to be added. Brant and I intend to get together tonight for a production section and talk about what we want to do. On top of everything else, I am getting really excited to add some organ on one of the tracks. The song has a very early-Weezerish vibe and I think we can polish it off nicely with a little organ.

Album Update #3
Ok, so here's the deal with the recording...had a marathon session yesterday. We got all the guitars and the lead vocals tracked.
We got a good chunk of the background vocals tracked so those need to be finished up and than a couple more tweaks here and there on the drums and bass tracks that were done previously and it will be ready to go to mix!
We are still looking at a tentative release date of early July due to some logistical issues but we shouldn't have to push that date out further than that.
So anyway, keep checking back here for more updates and we'll keep letting you know how things are going.
