Ottawa
Indie | Cleveland OH
Cleveland natives Dale DeLong, Will Hooper, Tim Czajka, Chris Williams and Steve Crobar are not new to their music community, but their band is. In less than a year, the five have come together from former projects to form Ottawa, a garage rock band with pop sensibilities.
On December 5, 2014, the band released its first EP, Random Lights, to critical acclaim. Judie Vegh of Midwest Action said, "In just 31 minutes, Ottawa's Random Lights proves that this band is just getting started on their path to success." The album embraces their diverse musical backgroundsâ, which vary from The Beatles to Steely Dan to The Strokes. Throughout the album, the band's dynamic sound shifts effortlessly from arresting and adrenaline pumping to contemplative and demure.
Random Lights aurally paints a good portrait of the band's sound, but it is in live performance where they truly shine. Each member of the band ricochets from his position on stage, feeding off the energy of the brother beside him. Their songs sizzle with heavy-hitting precision drumming from Crobar and dynamic crooning from DeLong. Hooper and Czajka's acrobatic guitar lines soar throughout, while Williams' driving bass provides the glue that melds the entire sound cohesively. This band is a sum of its parts, a well-oiled machine that could not exist without any of its current members. If you're ready for a ride that won't slow down, this band is just what you need.
In 2015, the band plans to tour regionally and release their next record.
