OFF! Closes Room 205 Visit with “Crawl”

We present the third and final installment of our Room 205 episode with OFF! featuring the brutal dirge of “Crawl” from their debut album First Four EPs (Vice Music).

Special thanks goes to OFF! for making this episode possible. Without their great songs, good humor and genuine grace we could not have made this happen. Thanks also to director Jason Farrell, set designer Tamarra Younis and audio engineer Jonathan Gilbert.

Poison City by OFF!

With raw enthusiasm we premiere the second installment of Room 205 with OFF! For this explosive performance, director Jason Farrell and set designer Tamarra Younis took inspiration from the legendary “Bates Motel,” located around the corner from Keith Morris’ Sunset Junction apartment.

OFF! Continues Furious Tutorial in Hardcore Fundamentals in Room 205

With raw enthusiasm we premiere the second installment of Room 205 with OFF! For this explosive performance, director Jason Farrell and set designer Tamarra Younis took inspiration from the legendary “Bates Motel,” located around the corner from Keith Morris’ Sunset Junction apartment.

Spooky, sketchy and fantastically well-lit, today’s hardcore matinee continues with the mauling wallop of “Poison City” from the debut album First Four EPs (Vice Music).

The four members of OFF! come from an array of truly awe-inspiring bands. Keith Morris (Black Flag/Circle Jerks), Dimitri Coats (Burning Brides), Steven McDonald (Redd Kross), and Mario Rubalcaba (Earthless/Hot Snakes/Rocket From the Crypt). Formed in Los Angeles in 2010, they’ve already released four EPs of classic hardcore and logged more road miles than most bands will in their entire existence. It is an honor to host this group of friends and favorite musicians in Room 205.

Look for the final installment of OFF! at Room 205 to launch on August 15.

Compared To What by OFF!

We’re excited to premiere our newest installment of Room 205 with hardcore supergroup OFF! While on a recent break from busy summer touring, the band blasted through a short set for us inside of their dodgy motel room rehearsal space (aka Room 205). Today’s afternoon delight begins with the brutal skronk and screed of “Compared To What” from the debut album First Four EPs.

Formed in Los Angeles in 2010, they’ve already released four EPs of classic, mind scraping hardcore and logged more road miles than most bands will in their entire existence. The individual roots established by these lifelong musicians are uniquely woven throughout the rock music canon. To call OFF! a supergroup just isn’t super enough.

Look for the second and third video installments of our OFF! episode to launch August 8th and 15th respectively.
