Obits - I Blame You

Obits are Rick Froberg, Sohrab Habibion, Greg Simpson and Scott Gursky. They reside in Brooklyn, New York. There is a bootleg of their first live show from January 2008 at the Cake Shop in New York somewhere on the Internet. As with most of these sorts of things, the sound quality of that recording is pretty poor. The songs though…The songs are really great. Obits like a lot of music – Television, Wipers, Michael Yonkers, 13^th Floor Elevators, Neu!, The Shangri-Las, African psych, punk rock. They don't really sound that much like Creedence, maybe a little. Since that first show, they have been convinced that releasing some records on Sub Pop would be a good idea. In December 2008 they released their first single, "One Cross Apiece" backed with "Put It In Writing" and did some touring with the Constantines and The Night Marchers.
