The Obsessives is an American rock band from Washington, D.C.
History
[edit | edit source]Made up by best friends Nick Bairatchnyi and Jackson Mansfield, The Obsessives started in 2013 as a two-piece band. The outfit was often compared to similar sounding Emo bands, though Bairatchnyi cites a lot of his early inspiration from the band Weatherbox.[1] They self-released their first EP, Die Trying on May 2, 2013.[2]
In 2014 they released two EPs, Bad Friends and Manners, the latter would later be released on Near Mint Record, who also released their debut LP, Heck No, Nancy on September 18, 2015.[3]
On May 6, 2016 the band released a two-song 7" entitled My Pale Red Dot[4]
In late 2016 the band signed to Lame-O Records and self-released a new EP called A Great Meance Weighs Over The City.[5] On March 17, 2017 they released their second full-length album, The Obsessives.[6] In support of this album, the band went on tours with Sorority Noise, Forth Wanderers (band), and Sinai Vessel.[7]
In February 2021 they released an EP titled "Monastery".[8]
