Together since 1996, they've released two self produced CDs, "Surrender Now" in 1997, and "Your Mind" in 1999. They are now promoted from over 2,500 websites and counting that review, mp3, stream audio and/or video, distribute, or broadcast their music, including such major sites as MP3.com, Amazon.com, CDBaby, The All Music Guide, BeSonic.com, IUMA, and tons of others, with more coming every day. Their musical directions are quite varied and the reviews they've received have been overwhelming. They are consistently compared to such groups as Dave Matthews Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Spyro Gyra, Brand X, Eric Clapton, Phish, and many others who have achieved platinum levels in sales and received GRAMMY awards and nominations. They have done all of this with virtually no promotional budget and with EXTREME amounts of determination and dedication. You will NOT find a totally independent band with more identity on the internet than ONOFFON - period." (continued if you click on song title)
