Well, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder were spawned in mid 2000 and the line-up finally solidified with three members from Liverpool, one from Preston and one from Doncaster.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder affects about one in fifty people combining obsessions and compulsions: their focus is Music and Energy. They do not claim to be figureheads of new musical genres but do lay claim to infusing the feelings of passion, pleasure and pain through the medium of FULL ON powerful music. Sufferers feel anxious, distressed and guilty but are powerless to cope with the flood of impulsive and irrational thoughts, brought on by such a varied and unpredictable style. Many become taken over by habits and rituals: they cannot stop themselves from the endless cycle of ...Insert CD, press Play, repeat...repeat...repeat... Treatments range from counselling to complementary therapies. Psychotherapy an intensive form of talking treatment can help, but only for a short time. Often the need to press play is too great before the listener is once more plunged into oblivion by oblique riffs and hooks which expand the mind. The condition may be inherited and scientists recently found a group of genes, which play a part in triggering the need to listen to OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder virus or musical phenomenon

Now Number one son, They have a combined love of the likes of Black Sabbath, hardcore punk rock, Frank Zappa, classic thrash metal, martial arts flicks, Nine Inch Nails, Limp Bizkit or "anyone with a DJ", the grandiose ideas of Tool and the friction-fuelled working methods of Faith No More meant that the rehearsal room was constantly buzzing with ideas.

This desire to get out ensured the band stepped up a level, holing themselves away in the rehearsal room and vowing not to see daylight until they have enough material "to truly threaten people with". The threat became a reality as the songs keep coming and with seemingly very little effort and only eight gigs under their studded belts, the band signed to Visible Noise and home to kindred spirits and fellow leading lights in the new wave of hip, British metal bands, Lost Prophets.
