Corporation Nightclub Obsessive Compulsive

Obsessive Compulsive

Anger, energy, intensity, belief…these are the essential ingredients in all great rock ‘n’ roll and Manchester’s Obsessive Compulsive have them all in abundance. With their debut full-length album, Dreams Of Death & The Death Of Dreams, this young band are poised to make a huge and lasting impact on the UK rock scene and, if there’s any justice, far beyond.

Formed at the end of 2003, this fiery four-piece were a distinctive musical force from the start. With a vastly diverse array of influences to draw from, the four members of the band set about brewing up a uniquely free-thinking blend of modern rock and metal styles, and by the time they released their first EP, A Demon For Every Occasion, in 2004 their identity was in place and their focus was absolute.

A fearsome dedication to playing live and taking their music to the masses led to further evolutionary steps and the ferocious bite of their second release, The Corpses Of Thought, which, alongside a steady stream of incendiary live performances, helped to bring many new converts to the party.

We want to be the kind of band that has dedicated, passionate fans and we think we’ve made a good start,” says singer Kelii. “If you collected all the people that like our music into one room you’d have punks, goths, metallers, emo kids, glam heads and really regular looking people. We’ve worked hard and been touring for a few years now and it would be awesome to get to the next level.

Determined to do everything on their own terms, Obsessive Compulsive have always adhered proudly to a DIY philosophy, selling their CDs via their website and at live shows, purposefully side-stepping the fame-hungry desperation and record label interference that so often strangles bands’ creativity before they’ve even begun.
