The journey began in Philadelphia in the year 2003. OBiRiON was nothing more than an idea of vibrations struggling to find the right sound spot. Fun was bleeding down a stream, to find a river, towards an ocean. Only two raw basement tapes were ever made during those early days.

Things were degenerating steadily by the time 2004 was in full swing. A wild party landed OBiRiON in the slammer for two years on drug related charges. The decision was made to evacuate the northeast after being released. With hope of finding a cool new band, Oakland became base for the next six years.

Playing the bay circuit proved to be a great experience. Different pseudonyms were used for gigs including Video Fizz and Urine Poop. Nights of crazy warehouse and dive bar shows with the likes of Ty Seagull, Thee Oh Sees, and Gris Gris are pressed and sealed forever. One demo containing nine instrumental tracks was released around the bay in 2009.

Things started simmering like a fowl meat stew in the summer of 2012. So, OBiRiON hit the road to find a new home once more. He was drawn to his current hometown by unknown forces. It is here that a major decision was made.

The debut album Serotonin was released on 18 September 2012. It was recorded in a basement with an inexpensive 8 track in true d.i.y. style. It was his first attempt at mastering and only the third time ever recording and mixing. Everything you hear was done by OBiRiON. Understand that it may take some time getting acquainted with this new sound called ‘Wobble n Womp’. It’s like Rock n Roll, only a little different.
