Band Info
As is the story with most bands The Osterman Weekend formed some time before they actually started doing anything constructive. Stu and Adz were talking about getting a band together for a while, drafting Dave in on guitar and finally managing to persuade Simon to lend his drumming talents to the band. The band started practicing regularly about February of 2001 with the intention of getting enough decent songs together to play a few shows. Having all been in bands before the songwriting process wasn't really that strenuous and they were ready to play Simon's 20th birthday that April. Although The Osterman Weekend's influences are pretty varied their sound would probably best be described as melodic post-hardcore/punk with a few grooves and hooks in the mix. The Osterman Weekend have played with the likes of Planes Mistaken For Stars, Movielife, Thursday, Brandtson and Garrison to name a but a few. This EP is their debut release and was recorded in the middle of November 2001. The Osterman Weekend since then have been playing gigs on a regular basis and joint headlined their first UK tour with Steel Rules Die in the summer of 2002. A further CD is currently being written and is planned for release later in 2003.
