The Offbeats [USA]

(post updated on january 13 2011)


~2004-PRESENT
Great 4-piece from Grand Rapids, Michigan. They play old school hardcore punk with some ska.
I would say for the fans of Poisoners, Rise-Up and crs family. Had a show with LoC and Citizen Fish.

Members:
Brian - guitar, vocals; Colin - vocals; Chris - bass; Skip - drums

They also released an album called "ATTACK!," quite a long time ago though. Thanks for this, had demos of a bunch of the tunes, but these sound a little better.

I used to talk to their drummer on aim all the time when I was younger, and he was my age (18). Whodathunk they'd go as far as they did. They're amazing, that's why.

Such a great band!! Thanks a lot. I wonder if someone could post the lyrics for Mind Control. Seems to be too hard for me as I'm not native English speaker...
TIA!

Is this really skip? If you still talk to brian tell him katy sebastian is desperately trying to find him! I lost my old email login and (obviously) searching brian may is a dead end

Remember my first circle pit at Skelletones on Grand Rapids Mi when I was 13. Left with 2 black eyes, my first circle pit experience and a love for punk!
