Very excited to release our new EP on bandcamp today! Spotify and itunes will follow. Hope you enjoy!

We are a surf band from Ottawa. Our initial aim was to play very trad but then we got a punk drummer and I can't hide my love for old video game music. Track 4 Abobo A-Go-Go is heavily inspired by Double Dragon level 4.

Very nice collection of songs.
Le Fiord was my favorite.

Deal with reality, or reality will deal with you.

Thanks all! It's up on Spotify now!

Love it ! Great songs and sound ! Don't know if that's on my computer but on Bandcamp the very beginning of the songs seems slightly cut, like if one second or two were missing. May be something you want to fix if possible. Can't wait for more from you guys !

The Obsidians - The Obsidians (Ottawa)
https://theobsidiansmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-obsidians

Though classic surf-rock has been largely relegated to niche venues or the world of soundtracks, bands like the Obsidians that can make it feel fresh are worth checking out. With their polished but fluid tones on "Selenite Stomp" it's clear that the Obsidians have thought about their sound, and the tracks serves as the perfect demo to this end. But it's in the shredding hooks of "Martian Hotrod" that you truly hear how well this works beyond the confines of genre, as echo and percussive strumming really up the ante. Though "Le Fiord" sides with the more classic composition of the genre, the band is able to make something that feels pulled eerily right out of grindhouse films and Tarantino's catalogue as a whole. Once again however, it's the unique drumming and overall aesthetics presented on something frantic like "Abobo A Go-Go" that tells you why The Obsidians are important, and not just another band.
