Over-reactor are a death-hop two piece from Melbourne, Australia. Their sound incorporates elements of hip-hop, hardcore, metal and rock. The live show is utterly unique - a blend of raw, heavy sounds and confronting visuals with electronic loops, televisions, two vocals and a drum kit.

Over-reactor write, record, mix, master, and press their music themselves. Nothing is outsourced. All graphic design, merchandising and video production is completed in-house. 

"The end result is... An uncompromised, unrelenting, politically-charged old school hardcore record."
—  James Nicoli , Beat Magazine 

The story:

In 2009, Melbourne musicians Ezekiel Ox and Cory Blight's respective musical endeavours came to an abrupt end. A mutual friend suggested they start collaborating. 

In December of that year, Ezekiel and Cory met at the Village Belle in St Kilda. Cory gave Zeke a disc of fourteen instrumental demos. 

Ezekiel and Cory began collaborating on January 11, 2010. By the end of February, the pair had worked the original demos into the basis for an album. The challenge now was finding a bass player and guitarist to complete the line-up.

The same mutual friend suggested they try playing as a two piece. The duo hired a rehearsal studio in South Melbourne, and tested it out. It worked. They then enlisted a third "silent" non-playing member to take care of graphic design, website, and video production. 

March saw the two settle on the name Over-reactor, and the release of their first track - a tongue in cheek, minute long hardcore number - "Fuck You Myspace," available exclusively on Myspace. The Over-reactor website was launched complete with a music player featuring The Evil Hamlet, a dark spoken word piece set to organ and horror movie samples.

In April the mutual friend found an empty two-storey office block in South Melbourne, and obtained permission to use the space for free for three weeks. Over-reactor moved in a drum kit, studio equipment and makeshift baffling, and emerged with drum tracks for the debut album.

Over-reactor first performed live on May 30 at The Espy Gershwin room, St Kilda to around 50 curious music fans. The next shows were supporting COG, June 11 at the Metro Theatre, Sydney, and June 12 at The Tivoli Theatre, Brisbane.

On August 9, the seventeen track album Lose Your Delusion I was released through the band's website. August 13 was the physical album launch at Ding Dong Lounge, Melbourne. The 120 strong crowd were treated to baked beans and red wine after the show. It was the first gig featuring a television with visuals for each track.

The second album, Lose Your Delusion Too, was released through the Over-reactor website on December 16. The physical launch was this time in Sydney, December 18 at The St James Hotel.

JJ Leroy is a rare musical gem.

Honouring is wide-spread influences and working it into something of his very own,he's received widespread acclaim for his self-titled EP, JJ Leroy.

A raw combination of rock, soul and groove, the EP has warmed the hearts of listeners everywhere with it’s melancholic, analogue tones.

Listening to the EP you’ll gain an insight into the influences that has shaped JJ as an artist. From John Mayer to Motown. Bruno Mars to Bob Marley, JJ blends and weaves his own tapestry of Soul.

Onstage JJ's smoked raspy voice defies expectation as his band around him hold an irresistible groove.

His undeniable live show has wowed audiences, leaving them infected with soul and blues.

If you want something done right, do it yourself. Multi-instrumentalist and producer Michael Robinson is a collage artist, taking from any genre and cramming it into the reverb-laden ether that is his music. To put it concisely, fuzzy riffs and 80's synths.

Ngiyampaa man Pirritu’s (Brett Lee) music is gentle, intricate and highly melodic – strange but beautifully framed chords overlaid with gently weaving vocals that sing to you a story of both sadness and hope.

Enticing you into the depths of his stories, Pirritu's sound comes from lazy days filled with listening to folk and acoustic surf tunes with hints of country hidden between the lines. His writing is honest and personal, set against a soundscape that goes from sunny and toe tapping to a rainy sadness felt by a lonely lover on a Sunday.
