Use Both Sides
I'd like to share a small taste of the USA... Holsteins, Harleys and hand crafted goodness...sun cured and home grown...bathed in the crystal waters of the untamed Americas and finally, with a dash of the cosmopolis streets for seasoning...I give you The Notorious ODin; song writer, guitar player, vocalist, producer and his latest project ”Use Both Sides” which has emerged as an energized incarnation of Sonic fire, with absolute dedication to artistry and explosively brilliant live performances. His unusual blend of heart strengthening lyrics, uplifting melodies, searing guitar riffs, tight harmonic layering and driving beat gives listeners a cerebral and physical experience that moves your soul and booty. This invigorating fusion of sound that is explosive, edgy, ambitious, yet accessible, and entirely new, is the urban-rock sound of Use Both Sides.
My friends, ignite your love, learn all you can, stay beautiful, live well & be happy.
