BIO: Obvious Reasons is a 4 piece hard indie rock band from the South West of the UK, based mostly around Exeter. O.R. have headlined Move Live, brought large crowds to Exeter Cavern and supported Scouting For Girls at Festival on the Hills.

MUSIC: Our heavy riffs and strong beats knock rock out of the park. Our Latest release 'Learn to Swim' has just released on all streaming platforms and is a great example of our sound and energy. Our music has been compared to the likes of the Arctic Monkeys, Muse and Royal Blood

SET TIMES:  We can play a full 1 hour 30 set if needed with a mixture of covers and originals. We also have a 45 min set of fully original music, but we generally play an hour with a few of our favourite covers, mostly showing off what we've got.

Our live sets come with full energy and a lively style. We love using our space and getting people moving in the crowd with fun audience interaction.

WHAT O.R. HAS TO OFFER: Our 'EP Diagnosis: Crazy' is currently out on all streaming services and reached 2000 listens in its first month of being released. Our first single 'Blood on my Alibi' was released in November of 2023 and totalled over 500 listens on it's first day, gathering around 1500 listens in a month. To support our funding for recording our EP and single,  we hosted a release gig at Move Live which we sold around 150 tickets total. We have since just released some new music, 'Learn to Swim', and are looking to play in new and exciting cities. We really value good crowd work and energy and will bring a lively show to your venue, gig or festival.
