Oceans Over Airplanes

About Me


Oceans Over Airplanes (formerly known as The CoverUP) is an Indie Rock band that calls the Chicago-land area home. Though Oceans Over Airplanes has only been a band for just over a year, this young quartet (with an average age of 25) has crafted an EP that sounds very aware and honest. Singer / songwriter / guitarist Tony Pagorek, who began the band as a solo act, prides the band’s Midwest brand of Indie Rock as emotionally charged and thus in turn has an ability to connect with fans on a unique level. In a time of music that relies heavily on overproduced studio albums and numerous cheap formulaic tricks, OOA attempts to push music back to a simpler form that once again puts a story and message back into songwriting. OOA is serious on being OOA and no one else. The band began as a secret while Pagorek and Ostrowski played in other projects. A few weeks later they added “the ringer”, Joe Muzyka, a talented young guitarist whose gift of melody soon transformed every song. Russ Gasper, the newest member, recently joined as the bassist and things are sounding better than ever.
OOA has been a complete band now since March 2008. We look forward to meeting you, playing for you, and giving you a message you can relate to. 'Till then....
