ONCE OVER, hail from the South Coast of England near Brighton. The 6 piece play a unique mixture of Ska, Hardcore-Punk and Metal. The band fuses these styles with a strong DIY ethic as well as political and social issues. <br><br> In 2005 the band released a debut full-length album on the well-known local independent record label, Killer Ska. After a year of constant touring around both the UK and mainland Europe to promote the release, ONCE OVER recorded a brand new 5-track EP with well-established sound engineer, Peter Miles in June of last year. These new songs are bursting with energy and capture the true sound of the band perfectly. <br><br> The new CD, entitled ’Directions’ was released at the beginning of this year, receiving much critical acclaim from both the independent and mainstream media including Radio 1’s ’Lock Up’ show with Mike Davies, local Brighton radio station Juice FM, as well as Kerrang!, Metal Hammer and Big Cheese Magazines. To date, these new songs have received over 130 000 plays on ONCE OVER’s MySpace page. <br><br> Once again, the band have proven themselves to be one of the UKs hardest working bands by touring constantly since this release. So far ONCE OVER have played shows all over the UK, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Holland, and Austria with bands such as Big D and The Kids Table and Rentokill. The forthcoming months promise much of the same, with a European tour scheduled for April and another couple of UK tours at the beginning of next year. It’s hard work but ONCE OVER wouldn’t do it if they didn’t enjoy every minute of it. <br><br>
