About Me

Thanks for taking the time to visit our page!

Here's a little excerpt from our industry bio kinda thing...

OSIRUS ® is an all original alt-rock band from Houston, TX, USA. The band is the result of four different personalities from four different backgrounds & sets of influences coming together to create something unique.
OSIRUS released their first CD "Robert & Family" on March 5, 2003. The CD features eight songs that display an array of styles that help to create an original sound all their own.

Here's what some are saying:

"Epic! Gloriously old-school with a new twist!"
- Don Sizensky, Spotted!! Music

"In an age when imploded party bands rely way too heavily on the same old moth-eaten Creed and Bush songs, it's refreshing to find a band playing shiny happy modern rock that keeps a bit of it's sweet prickly edge..."
- Mark Williams, The Bulletin
