The Obese have removed the teathers and let their screaming little baby in a basket out into the cruel indifferent online world.

Soon it will clog inboxes with it's bandwidth devouring epic scape.

Nothing Beats Total Control is OBCT 2007 release, recorded at the luxurious Pophorse Studios the record had a distinct DIY flavor with a double dose drizzeling of pro-rock sauce. The record is the culmination of a year of work with drummer Mike Johnson who's presence is felt in many ways on this new record. Based on our live sound, the songs are delivered in a far more digestible way but still have the wanton agressiveness and unbridled creativity of our more avant garde work.

The songs had been crafted over years by songwriter Geoffrey Makousky and were then toasted to a burguny crisp within the audio-destructicon realm of Dan Bateman's musical torturing influence. All in all the record is a watershed moment for the group as they've instantaniously taken it from studio to stage and are quickly becoming the Twin Cities next great flaming comet of electronic rock savagery adding Moises Soto on thrash guitars and Areyn Emrys on bullwhip keyboards. Planning on several key upgrades in the next year The Obese ask for you to take that quick moment and flood your pallette with a healthy snoot of their latest offering. You'll either be thrown for a loop or end it out by swatting the flies away from your newly zombified skull.

For many years OBCT was a 2 man project consistitng of a boat load of studio time and a shred of live play. It was fun and all but not nearly as satisfying as throwing down with the killer band we've assembeled. Dan Bateman as the madman at the wheel, Vocals and Audio destructions, Geoff Makousky on Bass and Vocals, Meghan-Deth on Guitars and Mike Johnson tearing things up on the drums. We'll be playing a ton of summer shows in town and on down the line, so be sure to be on the lookout for THE OBESE!!!

This site kicks ass! I've uploaded a few of our tracks from last summers' release "You Create Industrial Waste" and I am quite anxious to stick it in the ears of the Earplug Radio listeners! We've been working very hard on our new stageshow and follow up release but it's all for not if we're not pushing as hard as possible to get people listening. We've got our obligatory myspace (www.myspace.com/obct) and our website (www.obctonline.com) and now we've got a cool new site at Earplug Radio!
