The Ontopsies

In true punk rock fashion, The Ontopsies are novice instrumentalists powered by ear and feel, emphasizing raw artistry over technique. Talented nonetheless, they've taken a quick upward trajectory from starting in their garage in the summer of 2025 to sharing the stage with local rock veterans like The Crooked Rugs, King Crawdad, and Jesus Christ Taxi Driver by the fall. Inspired by bands like The Cramps and The B-52s, The Ontopsies sound is dark, surfy, and affectionately referred to by Hailey Jane (bassist/vocalist) as "Halloween music."
