Official press release:
Rock quintet Off Road Minivan is thrilled to announce that they have joined the Tooth & Nail Records family. Additionally, the band will be releasing their debut EP, Spiral Gaze, on February 16th, 2018. For more information or to pre-order the record, please visit this link. On the forthcoming album, vocalist Ryan O’Leary shares:
“Myself and the guys couldn’t be more excited to release our new EP with Tooth & Nail Records. We are Off Road Minivan and we wanna be your favorite band.”
Off Road Minivan is an alternative rock band from Red Hook, NY. Their sound – a nod to acts like Jimmy Eat World, Thrice, and Snow Patrol – is the direct result of decade-long friendships and a collective passion for 90’s grunge. Lead vocalist Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary (Fit For A King) uses Off Road Minivan as an opportunity to write the softer rock he loves to play. His band mates Melvin Brinson (guitar), Dave Trimboli (guitar/keyboard), Miles Sweeny (guitar/keyboard), and Evan Garcia Renart (drums) all play active roles in the writing process too, collaborating and building songs in sessions, not on screens.
O’Leary explains, referencing the popularity of electronic music:
“Our main point is to try and get away from what everyone is doing. We want the organic part of music, the kind that really fills the room, to be what we’re known for.”
Their debut EP, Spiral Gaze, releases on February 16th, 2018 via Tooth & Nail Records.
