BAND BIO
OFFICIALLY TERMINATED was formed in the summer of 2001. The band was originally formed by drummer Dan Carlson and Bassist Mike Jones. Dan and Mike were tired of todays pop-punk/emo scene and wanted something weird and
different. With strong ties to punk and shock rock, OFFICIALLY TERMINATED was
born. They received and shipped off many band members, most of them, without
a single practice. Soon they picked up a guitar player named Sam Morris. Sam was very influenced by heavy metal and
glam rock and was an excellent addition to the band. They soon found a singer
by the name of Sticky to compleete the banc. Officially Terminated played a few more gigs with Sticky and acquired
a local following in Fremont. Sticky really was not working out and the
band knew they needed someone to complete their sound and look. They decided
to bring on Eric Hansen to take over lead duties. Eric had been with the band for some time working as a roadie With
their new sound OFFICIALLY TERMINATED took to the road. They played a few gigs and recorded some material in the form of a
demo called Killing Time. Their new sound has been compared to a modern day version of The Sex Pistols. In the summer of 2004 Ot went into black light studios and laid down the historic Kids With Whiskey EP.
They continued to play shows all over Nebraska and Iowa. Later that year original member Dan Carlson left
for college. He was replaced by Kelvin Brooks then original singer Sticky took over on drums. OT hold true
to their dreams of a dirty, straight ahead, punch-you-in-the-teeth rock and roll band.
Their work ethic is evident in their stage performances, always giving the crowd a show. At the present, OFFICIALLY
TERMINATED are working on new material and looking forward to the future. They
are hoping that one day theyll make it to the top. Their music is about entertainment,
and Officially Terminated brings more than just songs about girlfriends dumping
boyfriends and tapping your foot to the beat. OFFICIALLY TERMINATED is
trying to put the danger back in Rock and Roll.
