O’Death Announce U.S. Tour with Murder By Death and Langhorne Slim
Recording New Album with Producer Alex Newport

“The New York band O’Death draws from the bluntness and spiritual purity of Appalachian folk, the menace of punk and the rowdy theatrically of Tom Waits, jumbling sacred and profane.” -The New York Times

O’Death
Five guys, maybe three shirts between them, take to the stage. There’s a banjo, a fiddle, a drum set littered with gas cans, chains, and broken cymbals. Then they all start howling, stomping; it’s an anachronistic jug band party in a junkyard with sing-along hooks and weathered vocals from another time. Their fans, an ever-expanding congregation, sing along and follow the band with an almost religious fervor, and as vocalist Greg Jamie’s eyes roll back into his head there’s a sense that something almost sinisterly spiritual has overtaken everyone in the room. This is the world of O’Death.
