About Owls & Aliens

Best described as an amalgamation of the world’s most quintessential styles of rock and metal over the last half century, Owls & Aliens seamlessly merges the driving vocals of today’s rock and metalcore over punk and grunge rhythms reminiscent of the 90’s, with explosive Classic Metal riffs and solos sprinkled throughout. Having just begun their journey as a band in late 2018, O&A is composed of 5 completely different musicians, separated by 12 years in age, but connected by their mutual love for creating honest, genuine music.

Ultimately seeking solace from their rural lives of Southern Oregon, O&A is comprised of Dustin Carter (clean/unclean vocals), Travis Siebecke (rhythm guitar, clean vocals), Jeffry Martinez (lead guitar, backup vocals), Nicholi Ohbronovich (bass, unclean vocals), and Dakotah Webb (drums, backup vocals).  All 5 members come from diverse music backgrounds that create each of their individual styles, with various levels of previous experience. Although different in style, each member has dealt with harsh upbringings, addiction, mental illness, homelessness, etc. that is apparent in their playing because of their own personal understandings of these topics. The O&A writing process is completely organic, never forced, and unable to comply with a certain genre.

Being from a small, isolated town in the middle of the high desert has not stopped Owls & Aliens from playing live shows. In the 8 months they had together prior to the pandemic, O&A managed to play over 2 dozen shows, both with local favorites and touring bands. Due to the lack of opportunity throughout their area, O&A has often had to bring the venue to their own home by hosting shows with other bands in the garage. Moving forward, Owls & Aliens has already begun booking shows for 2021, and with the end of regulations in sight, are ready to play as many shows as humanly possible.

Riddled with untapped potential, O&A released their first and only single thus far, Mercy, on May 8th, 2020. The song was recorded with Sean Stack of Fat Cat Recordings Studios in Sacramento, CA, where they also managed to get half of their debut album recorded before restrictions completely shut down the studio. Consequently, Sean has since relocated to Austin, TX, and O&A already has plans to finish recording the album, with hopes of it being released by the end of 2021. Owls & Aliens are currently planning the release of their first official music video for their new song You Can’t Save Everyone with their new management team, MVK Music Group. The song and video is set to debut this summer and bound to captivate whomever it reaches.
