In 1999's 'Battle of the Bands' contest (held in Athens) the band was awarded with the first prize leading to the realisation of the debut album (Pegasus Records, 2000), which was recorded from May 1999 to June 2000 at various times.
From April 2002 to January 2003 the band, with a different line up this time, records a second album titled 'Surface b' again for Pegasus Records. The genre is a lot different than the debut with influences ranging from indie to post-rock. Yet, within this album there is evidence of a more experimental and less commercial approach to music.
From May 2003 the band stabilizes its line up (Catherine Papahristou, Pepy Kosma, Alex Sakellariou, Orestis Karamanlis) and records a series of pieces for different occasions. Within Spring 2003 “A short piece for the poison–man” is ‘exhibited’ along with the homonymous painting of Stefanos Rokos. In July, ‘Pop+Rock’ Magazine hosts the same song in a collection. In March 2005, ‘Pop+Rock’ Magazine hosts ‘Happy Hour’ in a collection for the Greek English-spoken scene.
In November 2005 the band records a series of pieces for the painting/engraving exhibition of Stefanos Rokos in Athens at “Agathi Hall of Art”. The music was intended to accompany the catalogue of the exhibition titled “Noise and Useful Objects” and was reproduced in 1500 copies. It consists of a mixture of electroacoustic sound and songs divided in 9 parts. The album was recorded in Cambridge and Athens and mixed by George Priniotakis at ArtRacks studio. It was disposed free at the opening day of the exhibition.
In January 2009 the band’s 3rd official album - titled “Hibernation” - was released by Studio2 Records. This is by far the most elaborate work to the present day. It was produced in 3 countries (Greece, England and Ireland) within the span of 5 years. It has been co-produced at SARC, a research center on sonic art, implementing also new methods for musical expression and human-machine interaction.
The music of interstellar overdrive has also been used in film and theatre.
At the moment the band continues to undertake an even more experimental approach investigating alternative ways to produce music using new media (even though its members are scattered).

Interstellar Overdrive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Клаац! зубы выдерживают
щетки, пасты, духи, бусы больше, чем спасают
здорово, великолепно
бьешься за жизнь за завтра
и даже иногда за меня
как бы тебе повезло оо!
моей невесте
йямням! йогуртом по губам
аав! воздух с завтрака плавит
будильник сработает в пять исчезаю был не лучший день гладить тебя
не с первого раза открываются тайны а с тысячного рубля
как бы тебе повезло оо
моей невесте
завтра мы идем тратить все свои все твои деньги вместе
These lyrics are in Russian and are somewhat abstract, but I will try my best to interpret them. The first verse roughly translates to "Babats! You open your eyes. Claaat! Your teeth endure brushes, pastes, perfumes, and necklaces which barely save you. It's great, magnificent. You struggle for life, for tomorrow, and even sometimes for me. How lucky you are, oh! My bride. Tomorrow we will spend all your money, all my money together. Yum yum! Yogurt on your lips. Aav! The morning air melts. The alarm will go off at five. I disappear. It was not the best day to iron you. The mysteries don't reveal themselves at first, but at the thousandth ruble. How lucky you are, oh! My bride. Tomorrow we will spend all your money, all my money together."
It seems like the song is a random assortment of thoughts and musings, with themes of spending money and enjoying life with someone. The chorus repeats the phrase "how lucky you are, oh! my bride" which could be interpreted as both sincere admiration and a hint of sarcasm.

I heard this band for the first time around 2014. And it left me with a pleasant feeling: Wishing for more... And I went to buy their album. My girl loved it. We want more bands with original sound.
