Odessa
Describing their sound as New Groove Rockadelic, the Odessa core are four lifelong friends, fusing retro rock sounds with jumpin' beats and tasty grooves. They also play some damn good songs! Together since 2002 Odessa have just released their second recording. The first single (and title track) off their new album "Call Me" and 4th track Powderspine, are available for free download from our website.
