Over the past few years, OSB has consistently churned out radio-ready pop songs. From their first release, the Grey Area, to their well attended live shows, OSB has displayed a polish that is rare in the local clubs.
Their song, 23 Years, keeps them on that path. The song follows the mold of a good, pop/rock radio song. 23 Years finds the middle of the road right from the beginning and never loses track. With the exception of a few production moves that I am not fond of (the echoing reverb at phrase endings is a little much for me), this track seems to take you right where you would expect and is executed smoothly.
From just listening to 23 Years, I think it is safe to say that you WXLO-heads out there have a local band that can easily compete with your favorite national bands, so go out there and take them as your own while you still can.

Re: 23 Years by OSB
Damn, I thought you said "OSV". I love that place! OSB is cool too though, do they wear that 1820s garb?
Re: 23 Years by OSB
I really like the Outro. Takes the song to anoter level.
I agree about the vocals. A little too "wet" for my taste.
The bass line however, is fucking mint! ;-)
