Some nostalgia: sitting in mr walsh's first period logic class senior year of high school, a good friend of mine passed me a cd to check out. This is said cd.Rock is hard to come by these days. And by that I mean true rock. Not alternative rock, not indie rock, not jam rock. Just fuckin rock. The 90's were full of it, bands like soundgarden, alice and chains, and rage.
Here's some more rock. Onesidezero has had a rough go of it. After releasing the album 'Is This Room Getting Smaller?' they were dropped from their label (try to comprehend this AFTER listening to the album). They floundered, breaking up several times, and then releasing a half-hearted second disc in 2007 that's not even worth the sentence I'm mentioning it in now.
That said, 'Is This Room Getting Smaller?' is an incredible record. Onesidezero has three guitarists(!), and they interweave the rhythms and riffs between the three seamlessly. Throw in the fact that they also harmonize vocally, and that (on this disc at least) can write a super dope song, and the album doesnt disappoint (maybe that's why I'm blogging about it 8 years later...).
Here's the whole cd, give all of it a listen. Front to back. Rock rock.
Enjoy.

6 years later, after the implosion of Mothra (lead singers side band) OS0 released their self titled second album. Its really bland compared to the first. Funny that you posted this band, a couple years ago I was trying out their new music.
