   About One Block Society
A brief history...

The band was formed in autumn 1995 initially by Zak (Vocals), Thomas (Guitar), Robert (Guitar), Harry (Drums) and Thanos (Bass) as a necessity for self-expression and creativity, a remedy for teenage boredom amongst urban grid. First musical attempts were a combination of the New York Hardcore sound with Emo-Punk at that time, while having a D.I.Y. political attitude. O.B.S.'s rookie concert took place in Villa Amalias Squat (winter 1996), in Athens. Ever since, the band has gone through a lot of changes concerning line-up, musical orientation and political attitude.

Lyrics to the songs express socio-political beliefs and inner emotions influenced by political tendencies such as the International Situationist and truly human experiences like friendship, love, hate, loss, sexual pleasure and everyday life.

After 12 years of performing countless live shows, touring, jamming, arguing, recording and experimenting on different genres of music (Hardcore, Alternative Rock, Soul, Punk, R 'n' R) the band decided to dismantle due to personal and musical differences.

Little did we know...

Nearly 2 years later, after a period of self-evaluation, alcohol consumption, jamming attempts, home recordings and late night talks about police brutality, social status and why art has become so disarmed & harmless, One Block Society decided to reunite, determined to rock 'n' roll 'til Alzheimer's knocks their brains out! Right now the band is in the process of rehearsing/arranging new material and recording the 2nd studio album entitled 'The Everchanging Skyline'.

Different styles blend together. Post-Hardcore experimentation and R 'n' R attitude coexist with Alternative Rock melodies and New Prog references. Metal riffs give way to electronic soundscapes, vintage keyboard transitions and Space Rock lift-offs, only to land back down rediscovering our Hardcore/Punk roots.

This controversial mixing of genres is the very essence that defines the band's own character and motivational force throughout the years. It reflects the creative diversity of its band members, setting the foundations for One Block Society's non-conventional attitude towards music.

A comeback/reunion gig is scheduled, soon to be announced through O.B.S.'s MySpace profile.

This is only the beginning my friends, stay tuned!

ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΗ: Ο Τάσος και οι εκπομπές του (Εναλλακτική Ζώνη, Bands in Wonderland, Global HipHop) ανακοινώνουν την αποχώρησή τους από την δήθεν αντιδραστική συχνότητα «Radio Antidrasi 90 fm». Η αξιοπρέπεια που κουβαλάμε δεν μας επιτρέπει την σύμπραξη με ξεπεσμένους εσχάτου είδους και ανύπαρκτης κουλτούρας. Ζητώ και δημόσια την μη εκμετάλλευση της 5χρονης δουλειάς μου στην προαναφερθείσα συχνότητα.
Συγγνώμη για την ταλαιπωρία... Σύντομα και πάλι στον αέρα... όπως παλιά!!!
Με αξιοπρέπεια
