Bio
Oh No Not Stereo - for fans of Foo Fighters, All American Rejects, Rise Against.
Los Angeles’s Oh No Not Stereo, formed in 2003 by Skyler Nielsen and Mykul Lee, are an independent band by every definition of the term. Since the release of the group's debut, 001, in 2005, the duo has embraced an ever-changing music industry and continuously seeks new, innovative means of creating and releasing content.
Skyler and Mykul recently finished a 10-track record with Producer Jayson DeZuzio (Foxy Shazam, Coheed and Cambria) which will be released via BFMdigital 10/11/11.
ONNS has hit the road again in full force, this time the duo added Jussi Karvinen in the mix on lead guitar and Everett Connors on bass guitar.
The new record, meant to be experienced as a complete album, offers a dynamic range, veering from the propulsive rock of the album opener “Make My Move” to the angular heaviness of “Behind Closed Doors” to the ballad
“Brighterside”. There’s a notable thematic variety to the songs as well, but the common thread is that of positivity.
“We take a lot of pride in being independent, which allows us to do whatever we want musically,” Skyler says. “No two songs on this record are about the same thing or same person, yet each song was written in confidence that the listener will be able to relate.”
Additionally, the band spent 12 weeks this summer conceptualizing and filming a music video for every song on the album. The intention: To infuse the record with
additional life and offer visual experiences that parallel the meanings of the tracks.
The disc follows the band’s last full-length, 2009’s 003, also self-released, which sold 15,000-plus copies and spent seven weeks on CMJ’s Top 200. Songs from that album, as well as previous releases, have appeared on TV shows like The Real World, Punk'd, The Daily 10 and LA Ink. ONNS have also toured extensively in North America, Canada and the U.K. with bands like The All-American Rejects, Bayside and The Photo Atlas.
As an added bonus, the video for "All You" will be included in the upcoming premiere episode of MTV’s reboot of Beavis and Butthead.
