Following the demise of their band FAIRWEATHER (Equal Vision Records), drummer Shane Johnson and guitarist Peter Tsouras joined up with bassist Nick Barkley and former BRAND NEW DISASTER (Tribunal Records) vocalist Phil Williams in late 2005. The band took shape and began writing songs, recording their first five songs in December. OLYMPIA quickly went into the studio with producer Matthew Ellard at the helm. Known for his work with a wide variety of musical acts (MOTORHEAD, CONVERGE, MORPHINE, BEARVSSHARK), Ellard was the perfect architect for the bands sonic vision. The resulting album, entitled Emergencies, showcases OLYMPIAs aggressive and dissonant musical creation. FOR FANS OF FAIRWEATHER | ARMOR FOR SLEEP | FOO FIGHTERS.
