Sound
"OCC has a sound that resembles a mixture of all the bands that me and Ethen love like A day to remember and Breaking Benjamin." says vasily. "Mainly we go from Hard Rock to Pop Rock".

Future Releases
In the future Vasily hopes to release 4 albums at minimum. "I hope for my second album to be more relaxed with less distortion and more Acoustic and Clean guitars. For my third album I want there to be more of an Electronic sound with more Bass to it. And for my 4th album i want it to be literally the best album in history."

Meanings
Mostly in Vasily's music or at least on this album he wrote songs about people that he felt for or expeiriences that were hard for him. He said part of his album was about a trip he went on with his dad and sister. On this trip he said this place could have been a new home. Once he had to leave he was extremely depressed because he was leaving a place that he would possibly never see again. Also this trip was important to him because he hit a very creative streak with his music.
