The Oblivians are an American garage punk band dating back to 1993. In the 1990s, their blues-infused brand of bravado, and crudely recorded music made them one of the most popular and prominent bands within the underground garage rock scene. Formed in Memphis, Tennessee the band consisted of three members -- Greg Cartwright, Jack Yarber and Eric Friedl—who alternated between instruments on stage and in the studio, each member serving as vocalist, guitarist, and drummer, in turn. The band recorded three LPs, as well as a number of EPs and singles, typically recording songs live in the studio. In the past year, the band announced it will be releasing its first studio album in 16 years, and will be touring as well. Stay tuned!
