BiografieOJM was formed in Treviso, Italy, in 1997. From the very moment the band generated interested from the italian musical press and the rock'n roll scene in general, with their own personal genre which combined rough guitars with a psychedelic touch, taking influences from Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, MC5, GRAN FUNK.

Their first recording "Extended Playing", released for Agitato Records/Venus on february 2001, sold more than 1000 copies; on march 2002 the label Beard of Stars Records/Self published their first album "Heavy", produced by Paul Chain and, with the help of the video "The Sleeper" in rotation on the main alternative tv channels, the copies were sold out in few months.

The collaboration with Paul Chain continued on october 2002 when Massimo (drums) and Matteo (bass guitar) recorded with him two tracks of the album "Container" (released by Beyond Pro.) and followed him in the italian tour. But it's with the album "Heavy" that the band began to be acclaimed outside the italian borders, thanks both to Beard of Stars, which is ditributed worldwide (cargo, centurymedia, abraxas, high been music, self), but also because of all the interest that foreign press gave to "Heavy" with reviews and interviews (Kerrag!, stonerrock.com, stonedgods, metal hammer in Greece and France etc…). In the meantime, their musical attitude started exploring different soundscapes, more rockn'roll oriented, and eventually evolved into a 7" split with the british band Gorilla, always under Beard of Stars records.

On October 2003 the band is back in studio to work on "The Light Album", released on september 2004 for Go Down Records and distributed in Italy from Audioglobe and in Europe from Sonic Rendevouz/cargo; the album was entitled "light" because it marked a subtle change in orientation, as the stoner attitude of the very beginning gave space to more garage and psychedelic sounds, always keeping their impact and loudness, but in a rougher way: rage turned into aggressivity! The video "Talking about revolution", first single taken from the album, brought OJM on the main music televisions in Italy (MTV, ROCKTV, ALL MUSIC,YOSTV etc) giving them a significant public and critical acclaim.

As regards their live career, OJM can boast hundreds of gigs and two UK tours, intense and wild performances and the supporting of several legendary bands such as DKT / MC5, Motorpsycho, Brant Bjork, Gorilla, Marlene Kuntz, Hardcore Superstar, Nebula, Josiah, Fleshtones and many more. After the release of "The light album" the line up changed and the new entries Alex Germany (guitars, replacing Frank Puglie) and Andrew Pozzi (bass guitars, replacing Matt Bordin) enforced their impact and their groove resulting in a mixture of psychedelia, stoner and rock'n'roll, zeppelin-oriented and sonic at the same time! On July 2005, OJM were back in studio again to record some tracks with Brant Bjork, which will be released soon on 7" and finally on march 2006 they'll start working on the new album with a remarkable producer: Michael Davis from the legendary MC5! Stay tuned!
