Formed in 2000, the OIDS sought to form a power trio with a unique edge. Pulling influences from a wide range of sources (from Zepplin to NOFX to Mr. Bungle to Ween) they created an original blend of music that can be best described as “oid-core.” They have toiled relentlessly in pursuit of their musical vision, playing a wide variety of venues across eastern CT, assaulting audiences with their dynamic sound and energetic live show.
In 2006 we released our first full length album, John B. Quimble
We're currently in the midst of recording our 2nd album and looking to play some shows for the summer, so if you dig our sound and want to book us let us know (or if you dig our sound and just wanna be our friend, well, that's cool too)

So we couldn't score any surf rock bands, but that's not stoppin' us! It's summertime, and dammit, we're having a luau! So wear your grass skirts, get ready to dance, and everyone through the door gets leid!
