Collingwood Pies Theme (Checkers Bootleg)


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.
