(Now Playing) Obits - Episode 2 of 8
Aug 7, 2009
Obits are a bunch of old, rock and roll guys who actually care about making good rock music. Which is not to say they never were full of piss, vinegar and bullshit: guitarist and vocalist Rick Froberg was a member of Hot Snakes, Sohrab Habibion played guitar with Edsel, and Scott Gursky drummed for Shortstack. So don’t be ageist and give Obit’s sand-blasted, high-tempo, capital “R” Rock n’ Roll songs from their new album, I Blame You, a chance.

Obits are amazing, once Rick Froberg drove me home. He did not 'pound beers'.
