Turmoil joined forces with the remnants of the North San Diego County thrash band Conflict of Interest ( COI ) to produce this critically acclaimed underground effort. Initially conceived as a neighborhood garage band project, O.D. immediately joined the ranks of the west coast notorious while gathering a cult following of OD devotees. Led by two time loser front man Tone-Yo, the band’s reputation played out on stage with violent crowds and constant altercation. Plagued by the gunshot murder of a fan by a crazed roadie at a live performance in Oceanside, Ca, O.D. disbanded in 2000. |
