NEW Obits Album - Bed & Bugs - Fall Tour - Free Download

Rick Froberg/Sohrab Habibion/Greg Simpson/Alexis Fleisig

Obits, a band based in Brooklyn make great blues punk rock music. Consisting of indie-rock veterans, Lead singer and guitarist, Rick Froberg, is a Southern California musician who has played in Pitchfork, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes and a few other bands and his fellow Obits bandmates, Sohrab Habibion, Greg Simpson and Scott Gursky. Stream/Download "Taste the Diff", from Obits' third full-length, 'Bed & Bugs,' out September 10th, 2013 on Sub Pop Records. Pre-Order available.

“We’re not into innovation as a band,” says Froberg, “I think innovation is overrated and an overestimated quality. Anything that’s going to be original is going to happen without your control. Things that make your band sound like you, are things you wouldn’t be able to change anyway. We just go ahead and play the stuff we like, and we don’t worry about originality per se, because that takes care of itself.”
