OCB

Founded in 1998 by singer/songwriter Paul Calobrisi and guitarist/songwriter Travis McCally, OCB has solidified its presence in Boston's adult contemporary rock scene.

Lead singer Paul Calobrisi infuses the band's music with profound emotion, while guitarist Travis McCally's diverse musical styles, honed from his experiences with bands like “Sloppy Joe,” “Hybrid Minds,” and “Violet Tide,” add depth to OCB's sound. Their debut album, "Closure," quickly rose to fame as a "pop-cult classic," dominating the indie charts on Reverbnation. Tracks like “I Will Stay,” “Hey, Renee,” and “Longing” resonated strongly on collegiate radio, further establishing OCB through live performances alongside music icons at Boston’s Mix 98.5 Music Festivals.

In 2010, OCB began work on their follow-up to "Closure," a project that lay dormant until 2021 when the band decided to revisit it. Transitioning from a heavier rock sound to a more refined approach, OCB embraced a mainstream direction while preserving their unique essence. This musical evolution culminated in their latest album, "We Ride At Dawn," released in 2023.
