Overcast Off
Overcast Off is an American indie rock band formed in Tucson, Arizona and currently located in Somerville, Massachusetts. After a successful west coast tour in 2009, the band started to gain a fair amount of underground buzz.[1] Overcast Off has described their sound as "electric folk music that doesn't sound like folk music."[2] In early 2010, they participated in the Camp Wildcat benefit concert at Club Congress.[3]
