About Me



Oso Optimo is a collaboration of three friends spawning from regional bands such as Yearling & Dakota Darling,just to name afew. Influenced by such records as Nirvana’s “In Utero” and Weezer’s “Pinkerton”, the group strives to bring adirtier soundto pop/rock. After a year or so of writing, singer/guitarist, George Hage, turned to his peers for furthersupport bringingon bassist Larry Dempsey and drummer Mike Schroeder to complete the power-trio.

With the aural ingredients of noisy guitars, distorted bass, falsetto’s, and heavy-handed drumming the bandhopes to puttheir spin on the ever growing abyss that is music.
