Overhall is an American rock & roll band that was started in 1989 in the far northwest suburbs of Chicago. Formed from members of Flammable liquid who had played in the Chicagoland area for years. The original band spent countless hours rehearsing and writing in a rented garage in East Dundee, playing shows between 1989 and 1992. Core members, Adam Gotheridge, Paul Dobroth and Jeff Kerwin contacted Tom Hall (guitar) and Mike Hall (drums) to replace an existing member, the drummer Mark Becker. It was a package deal, if Mike was joining Overhall on the Drums, so was his brother Tom on guitar. The new band was loud, powerful and very well rehearsed. Overhall was known for playing at extreme decibel levels ultimately giving Tom Hall a case of chronic vertigo. This was just the beginning. After a packed show in the dead of winter in Richmond, Illinois, the band had to wait the entire evening to move out their gear and get paid upon the completion of the headliners set. If this wasn't enough, Adam Gotheridge while driving home from the gig, hit the breaks to avoid a collision and his amplifier broke one of his car windows. The next day with a photo shoot planned for the release of an EP, Gotheridge quit the band. Overhall was devastated. After years of working on high powered cover tunes and originals, the band was a bit in shock.
