Artist History
It all began at the end of the summer of 1994 when
four friends from Lévis decided to form FOODSTUFFS
. After several practices in Vez's garage, FOODSTUFFS
were ready for their first concert. Fourteen songs
were recorded in less than eight months after the
formation of the band. "Why Not ? ", their first
demo, was released in April 1995. Following the
release of this first demo, the band got signed on
Help Ray-Chords, a small punk label from Montréal
. More than 500 copies of "Why Not? " were sold.
In the meantime, FOODSTUFFS was touring a lot in
Québec until the end of 1997. Those three years allowed
FOODSTUFFS to record extra songs for some compilations
such as "The Upper East Punk Stories", on which
we can find many other Québec punk bands. Some internal
problems compelled the band to make some changes.
First of all, the name of the band changed for
OVERSIGHT. Except for one song (In Your Cicle), they gave up all
FOODSTUFFS' musical material with the aim of taking
a different musical direction and improving their
way of working. This new start gave OVERSIGHT enough
motivation to compose new songs and play until the
end of days! So here are OVERSIGHT with the same
four guys as in 1994. A new album of 10 fast melodic-punk
songs came out in March 1999. "Silent Days" was recorded
in six days at Plante Verte studio in Montréal from
December 1998 to February 1999. All music writing
is done by Dan and Vez while Frank takes care of lyrics.
Since 1999, Oversight are playing everywhere in Province
of Québec and went to Europe on summer of the year 2001.
Oversight were, are, and will always be : Frank (Vocals),
Jeff (Bass),Dan (Guitar) and Vez (Drums). |
