Their explosive live performances and cutting edge music has garnered them recognition from the music industry and a growing fanbase. With a cross Canada tour under their belt, videos, and a feature in Metal Edge Magazine, the band has made tremendous progress in their first year. All of this before their debut album, which releases this fall.
“…I’m not sure exactly what subgenre OBR fall under, but they were heavy. They never sounded like straight-ahead metal, so maybe they would be considered alternative metal. They played with a hardcore punk energy, too, but I wouldn’t call them metalcore. Their musicianship was seriously impressive, with loads of licks and pummeling drums…OBR’s singer is crazy on stage.” soundopinion.ca
“…One Bullet Resolution emerges with an amazing range…One moment you’re listening to a great vocal harmony and two seconds later you’re rocking out to kickass metal, and it works. It’s not choppy or awkward, but it certainly is original…” metaledgemag.com
Their origin was in 2007 when guitarist Yellowfly and drummer Harris, who had previously collaborated on another project, Joykamp, decided to establish a new band with a fresh sound. Already familiar with the vocal styles of the funk-metal project Str8jackit, who rehearse in the same studio, they immediately approached front man Jeremy King with the opportunity to collaborate. King accepted and shortly thereafter chance delivered them bassist Jamie Hockin, whose versatility and musical personality proved to be the missing piece to complete the band.
OBR’s ability to draw from the influences and musical backgrounds of each of its four members and harness them into a sound intent on stroking the hearts of music lovers everywhere, has defined its approach to music making since its inception. The combination of their vocal harmonies, ranging from in-your-face metal lashings to their sweet, unique melodies; its ultra creative guitar licks; and funky and melodic bass lines breed the unique character defining it. These elements, cradled in the pocket of its driving drum beats, blend to create a sound worthy of any listener.
