Overman

Growing from the fertile musical grounds of nearby Chicago, Overman is the result of four distinct voices and their broad influences, congealing to create a unique and multifaceted, yet popular and accessible, musical identity.

Overman has been featured on WGN TV’s Nationally Televised Midday News, in Skeptic Magazine, by NPR, on AMC’s Emmy winning television show ‘Breaking Bad’. Their song ‘Evolution Rocks’ is officially endorsed by the National Science Teachers Association, and has been used as a teaching supplement in countless countless classrooms all over the nation.

Overman’s sound speaks, variously, of the pop sensibilities of the Beatles, of the storytelling of American folk, of alternative rock and of Delta blues. A melodic cocktail that has led fans, contemporaries, and professionals to make comparisons to everyone from The Rolling Stones to Frank Zappa to early Wilco.

Believing that good bands function as families, Overman’s constituent members – Aaron Kelly (vocals, bass, guitar), Matthew Radowski (vocals, rhythm guitar, bass), Russell Eggenberger (vocals, lead guitar) and Robert Cool (drums) – share an address in Plainfield, Illinois, an 1865 farmhouse that serves as an ideal cauldron for the simmering brew of the band’s creative process and experimentation. Their common dwelling enables both an intimate connection between bandmates and around-the-clock collaboration, operating as ground zero as the band has grown, since its formation in 2003, from a local barroom favorite throughout the upper midwest.

Overman’s first release, The Evolution EP, features the single “Evolution Rocks,” a much-blogged-over ode to Darwin that’s become an anthem for science teachers nationwide and overseas and has received the endorsement of The National Science Teachers Association.

Overman’s latest release, the critically acclaimed “The Future is Gonna Be Great” is now available on iTunes, and has been opening locked doors.
