  • Bio

    .. .. ...... .. Justin's new project ..SYMBOLS.., made up of Justin on Vocals, guitar, keys and synths, Sam on Lead guitar, are the newest sound out of Melbourne. Although it has been said that they are like The Killers meets One Day As A Lion meets Tricky, songwriter Justin disagrees. "We're more like the cybernautic obstruction that occurs when a quirky David Bowie crosses that cellular division with Trent Reznor". Well it may not make sense but their new ep, mixed and produced by Justin and Sam, is a truly cosmological and audible art experience. Said Public Magazine only recently "Freaky production techniques and thick stinky vox bordering on toothsome". We think they meant wholesome? .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... Justin's last album, ..Stereo Gold.. (produced by Brett Creswell - Sick Puppies), was his 4th and second solo album. Get it on on itunes, digital download stores, and at his gigs! Or request it on your favourite online radio stations in the USA and Australia. .. .. Justin, a multi-instrumentalist, has created darkly beautiful music which he feels is both accessible and unique and a sound very much his own. Justin has enjoyed national airplay on Triple J, holding 3 spots in the top 10 of Triple J's Unearthed roots charts, high rotation on FBi radio, plays on NOVA, album of the week (Stereo Gold) on drive-time PBS in Melbourne and Gold Coast radio. .. .. “A capriciously eclectic assembly of… really great sounds. Wonderful musicianship. A fresh approach. Freaky production techniques and thick stinky vox bordering on toothsome.” Public magazine .. .. “It’s a given these days that a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist with the right gear can achieve remarkable things… Justin Ossher certainly has.” Drum Media .. .. "Justin is further proof that Australia is producing some excellent pop music. "Strength Of Your Command" is too refined for an immature ear." Anthony Bates Moozikoo Radio .. .. "There's something magnetic about Ossher's delivery and depth of emotion. There's no holding back with this guy. The band's sound thunders through the heart." Vibewire.com .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ...... .. Hey, I gotta tell you that there's some incredible work in Murchison, Kwazulu, Natal, to care and nurture orphans with hiv. These children, often abandoned by parents, are brought back to vibrant health at the Rehoboth Foster Care village, through a program that has been incredibly successful over the last 8 years. Homes, a clinic, creche and foster parents give these children respite and hope. .. .. Through music, we can bring attention to those in need. You can make tax deductible donations, visit their website, check out the work of an incredible team of people, and help make a difference to the lives of young children in this world... .............. .. .. 2010 Signs Of Truth Symbols Ep 2010.. 2008 Stereo Gold Solo Album released in 2009.. 2006 Ep Machine of the GodS Zen Studios.. 2005 Ep Machine of the GodS at A Studios.. 2004 Composed for short film The Florist.. 2003 Composed for 2003 Tropfest short film Black Betty and TVC for LINO Magazine... 2000/01 Solo album Crawdaddy and the Native Swordfish... 2000 Ep [Velvet Studios] Sheepskin with The Third i.. 2000 4 trax on 12 episodes of TV series High 5 produced by TWI and IMG.. 1999 Ep Mandala for a Modern Nation with The Third I....

  • Sounds Like

    okay this is my theory and it has been espoused by many others i'm sure, i just can't think of who right now. The fact is people like to associate music with something they already know, like and/or feel comfortable with so it is only natural and perhaps even complementary if people compare one musician to another. I am honored to have been compared to such greats as David Bowie, Cat Stevens (the early years) and even Bob Dylan, I have been described as a mix of Elvis Presley and Elvis Costello and have often been accused of looking like Jaykay ( ya know jamiroquai ) but i can't dance like him. I personally think i sound like the bastard child of Bacharach/David and Lennon/McArtney who all inseminated Fiona Apple who then left me to Janis Joplin and Gil Scott-Heron to raise and teach the ways of music........Ok i'll stop now. .. .. ..Website.. http://www.justinossher.com .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..STRENGTH OF YOUR COMMAND .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..SONG FOR NIKYAR.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..REBIRTH : A Short Film from Justin.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Change is ever constant in life. For me, there was a kind of rebirth from the intensity and recklessness of my heavier rock band, Machine of the GodS, which, it seemed, I could take no further than where it was, not musically really, but more conceptually. At this time too, my girlfriend was returning home to Sweden... .. I used the wasted and broke drug addict as the metaphor for the frustration that I was experiencing. I felt the need to undergo this complete makeover, shave, cut my hair and, with my girlfriend leaving, start to write a new body of material... .. It was uncanny really, how the timing of all of this occurred right around the time I had scripted this short film. In fact, by the time I had finished editing Rebirth, the story had unfolded in my life.
