One Bullet Resolution

One Bullet Resolution has created something to be loved or hated. "I’m not sure exactly what subgenre OBR fall under, but they were heavy. They never sounded like straight-ahead metal, so maybe they would be considered alternative metal. They played with a hardcore punk energy too, but I wouldn’t call them metalcore.

One Bullet Resolution has created something to be loved or hated. "I’m not sure exactly what subgenre OBR fall under, but they were heavy. They never sounded like straight-ahead metal, so maybe they would be considered alternative metal. They played with a hardcore punk energy too, but I wouldn’t call them metalcore. Their musicianship was seriously impressive, with loads of licks and pummeling drums...OBR’s singer is crazy on stage,” as stated on SoundOpinion.ca following OBR’s live performance in 2008 at the Opera House in Toronto. “It’s been a blessing and a curse for us. We haven’t really ‘fit’ into one specific genre. That doesn’t make it easy, because while people really dig our diversity, they don’t know where to put us. We’ll just carry on doing what ever the hell we do then”, says King, vocalist for OBR. Metal Edge magazine, US #1 Metal Magazine wrote, "One Bullet Resolution emerges with an amazing range...one moment you're listening to a great vocal harmony and two seconds later you're rocking out to kickass metal, and it works. It's not choppy or awkward, but it certainly is original." Music Connection Magazine gave OBR top marks as the #1 metal band of 2008. Music Connection writes, "Metalers come roaring and show lots of skills all the way around". The December 2008 issue of Music Connection Magazine featured the Top 25 New Music Artists of the Year. OBR took earned top spot in the Metal genre. “The message we have is really about change. Change in music, change in thinking, and knowing what to change. The crow, a symbolic figure all over the world, is on our album cover. It's a messenger of change.” claims Hockin, bass player for OBR. “You can’t change the world, but you can change yourself. Follow nothing and be that change. I live by that, and I want to be making music that way too,” adds Yellowfly, guitarist for OBR. The upcoming release of their debut album titled, “New Beginning” is a step in a long line of accomplishments during the bands early years. Videos, tours, showcases, radio play, TV airplay, and features in multiple music magazines in the US, have all been a tremendous boost for the band. “This album will be like a boot to the head”, says Harris, drummer for OBR. The release of the album will mark the new beginning for the band, and a long list of work ahead of them. “Getting the album done has been our number one priority. It’s a lot of work to even get this far. But the real work is ahead of us getting this music out to people”, Harris adds. The band’s origin was in 2007 when guitarist Yellowfly and drummer Harris, who had previously collaborated on another project, Joykamp, decided to establish a new band with a fresh sound. Already familiar with the vocal styles of the funk-metal project Str8jackit, who rehearse in the same studio, they immediately approached front man King with the opportunity to collaborate. King accepted and shortly thereafter chance delivered them bassist Jamie Hockin, whose versatility and musical personality proved to be the missing piece to complete the band. Their debut album is a unique blend of all the member’s influences. Their combination of vocal harmonies, ranging from in-your-face metal lashings to their sweet, unique melodies; its ultra creative guitar licks; and funky and melodic bass lines breed the unique character defining it. These elements, cradled in the pocket of its driving drumbeats, blend to create a sound worthy of any listener. It’s rock to metal, funk to electronic, and even some acoustic tracks. FOLLOW NOTHING
