The OddEven are an Alternative Metal Post Grunge band known for riff-oriented hard rock with a massive groove and hypnotic kick that will spin you around on your barstool and get you to your feet in a jam-packed arena.
The band just premiered a new music video for their arena-worthy power ballad entitled “Come Home”; the first single & music video taken from their upcoming studio album “Outer Space Outtakes”, which will be released on March 14th, 2025, via Eclipse Records.
The album was produced by Weed and E.T., alongside Frank Marchand (Fiona Apple, Nils Lofgren) at Waterford Digital, and mastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Monster Magnet, Fleetwood Mac) at West West Side Music.
Watch the official video for the new single “Come Home” below.
“The video for ‘Come Home’ is about a woman making her way back home after straying/breaking up”, says bass guitarist Jon Weed. “While the guy may think getting back together with her is a move toward happiness again, she is the devil in disguise. This is the first single we released with aggressive alternative/hard rock, power ballad sensibility. The message to fans is to always be careful going back to something that was toxic in the past, because there is a very good chance that the second time around will be worse than the first… Unless you are prepared to dance with the devil, you should run the other way as quickly as possible”!
“Outer Space Outtakes”, the sensational new studio album by the alternative metal post grunge band, The OddEven, is a groove-centered guitar party that brings us deep into the fold of the unknown, getting twisted and high, raucous and rebellious, as if the sky was suddenly filled with dark spirits from other worlds dancing in the afterimage of our own flashing shadows.
Lyrically, The OddEven delves into fantastic alien encounters as much as the paradoxical truths about complex relationships. Altogether, the album covers a broad spectrum of imagination and emotion, all thematically tied to the idea that we must set ourselves free of the chains of toxicity. “Outer Space Outtakes” is a journey that forges its own fantastical path along the road of reality that twists and turns beneath a scatter of stars.
The first focus track, “Come Home”, is about hope and recollection, as the second single, “First Encounter”, is a glorious guitar-fest made for space junkies, metal heads, rockers, and goths. The third exceptional focus track is titled “Innocent”, and it mesmerizes us like sirens of the sea and witches in the wind.
Altogether, Weed (bass) and E.T. (guitar) write songs that were made to make you get your groove on, featuring first, that bass sound that pounds like a thundering heartbeat pinning the meter. Jim Chaney (drums) plays in a way that is somehow both “heart-stopping metal” and “addictive funk-a-licious”, and Grant Walker (vocals) hits us with hypnotic harmonies that cast spells, end wars, spread love, and charm snakes. And E.T. plays that heavy rhythm guitar like a monster truck in a monastery and those wailing lead tracks that make us feel like we have rocket-jets under our heels and starlight blasting out of our eyes.
