O'Death absolutely destroyed The Basement in Nashville, TN a couple weeks ago at the AMA Conference and Festival. Sweaty, shirtless, furious, bouncing, smoking, shredding...it was an animalistic folk-punk-rock extravaganza! The band is about to take off on their big U.S. tour in support of their October 28th release on Kemado Records, Broken Hymns Limbs & Skins. It is their third full-length...

Last Sunday O'Death, Hoots & Hellmouth and Keys to the Streets of Fear played TT the Bear's place. The next morning I went to day two of the Children's Hospital pediatric nutrition conference. Unlike last week there will be no talk of breast feeding, just graphs. O'Death Hoots & Hellmouth

Yesterday Pitchfork.tv premiered the video for O'Death's Lowtide, but don't get too excited because the video is completely reckless and a clear threat to the nation's youth. Here's why: About two thirds into the video the camera cuts to the band playing an impromptu version of Lowtide in a small underground cave. Given the size of [...]

Broken Hymns, Limbs, And Skin is a dark, twisted, and occasionally glorious listen. From the tense, muted banjo strikes on which it opens to the raucous cries that see it out, it also positively exudes menace

As I travelled down to Nashville for our AMA Festival/Conference showcase , I was pretty giddy for one band...O'Death . There was some build-up. You know what usually happens when there is build-up? Let down. Not this time. They blew The Basement up. That little (and fabulous bar) could barely contain them. Shirtless, dirty, sweaty, rock/punk gypsy-folk consumed all in its path. Mak...

Like the verses exchanged between a doomed narrator and Death in the eponymous Ralph Stanley song, the subjects of O'Death's riotous vignettes present both anxious portents regarding mortality and a slightly nihilistic recognition of that condition's inevitable end.

Have you ever found yourself in a speeding car on the cusp of careening out of control? That's how I feel every time I listen to O'Death's 2007 release, Head Home. I feel like I'm about to slam into a concrete barrier. It's going to be very loud, a little painful and very bloody. I [...]

Normally when I review a show, I try not to get smashed. I have a couple of beers, take some notes and try to put something together that makes sense. O'Death is far from a normal band and I was far from sober. I took a look at my notes the next day and I [...]
