Description
Hard Rock / Light Metal with Progressive Tendencies. Throw in lots of classic
rock influence on a band who grew up during the 90's alternative scene. Then
add some metalized 80's pop covers for good measure and you've got Of
Dreams and Madness.
Bio
Of Dreams And Madness is a spider spinning a web
of emotions and philosophies with its music. But the spinnerets of this
hard-rock (light-metal) band produce more than just a sticky discharge that
catches flies; these guys have bigger prey in mind. And the secret weapon that
sets this group apart from its peers? FUN. ODAM is a fun and
entertaining act with a wide appeal that – refreshingly – has maintained its
artistic integrity by creating a unique and expressive musical
experience.
ODAM has a history that has come full circle.
Between ’98 and ’00, the four-piece assaulted the Connecticut metal scene
under the name Dirge. It was a hell of a 2-year ride for the group,
which crashed just prior to the release of their 1st album.
Fast forward to 2003 when Collard, Giacchi and Potvin
reformed under the ODAM moniker. The purpose: to have fun transforming
80’s pop songs into ass-kicking metal tunes. After covering Gloria Estefan,
Journey, Wham and others, the trio quickly realized ODAM’s
potential and decided to reenter the local music scene. In 2006, the band
recorded their debut album of (mostly) original music, for which Laperle was
invited as a guest vocalist. 2007 marked the official reunion and ODAM
was a quartet once more, doing what they do best: having fun rocking out.
From heavy grooves and gripping melodies to insightful lyrics and energetic
shows, this band has something for everyone; but don’t take it from us (we
are biased, after all), check out ODAM and let experience be
your guide.
