Chris Alexander (vox, keys), Craig Guidry (drums), Matt “Buzz” Buzanowski (bass) and John Miles (guitars) came together with the desire of creating music different from the rest...and Of Truth And Stories was born. Based in the burgeoning music scene of Orlando, Florida Of Truth and Stories set out to differentiate themselves among the rest of the areas’ up-and-comings acts. With a high-energy live show and a focus on creative song writing, OTAS began to establish themselves in one of the country’s most competitive music scenes. With each member bringing their own varied musical experiences and passion together to create a new and exciting sound, OTAS produce a blend of drama, energy, and creativity that is unique among their peers.
Their HARD-HITTING new album was produced by rock icon Brett Hestla (Dark New Day, Creed, Framing Hanley, Faktion) and mixed by veteran music maker Pete Thornton (Paramore, Sullivan, National Product). The band was even able to draw the attention of mega-producer David Bendeth (Paramore, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Breaking Benjamin, The Almost, Dropping Daylight) for their first single “That Guy”. Recorded and mixed in the summer of 2007 in Florida and New Jersey, OTAS debut EP, PROLOGUE features the group’s blend of synth-infused grooves, hard rock, and honest lyrics, resulting in an album that is a mix of high-energy rock and thoughtful ballads. It also marks the bands first official release since signing with ReAmp Entertainment Group.
Since forming, OTAS has toured and captivated audiences all over the southeast. Having had the opportunity to take the stage at a variety of festivals and events such as the Glitz n’ Glamour Tour with Rookie of the Year and Roses are Red, The Florida Music Festival (FMF) with Seven Mary Three and JR from Dishwalla, Rock the Vote, Rock for Hunger 2, Orlando’s annual Ole' Festival and Bodog’s Battle of the Bands. Catch OTAS live on the road in '08.
QUOTES:
"I won’t go out on a limb and say that Of Truth And Stories are “the best band that you haven’t heard of yet” or any of those other silly catchphrases album reviewers tend to throw around. What I will say is that the prologue EP shows a huge amount of potential for Of Truth And Stories to become that band, and with the release of the band’s full length album just around the corner, it shouldn’t be long before Of Truth And Stories really have a chance to make their mark." - Jesse Dunn SkylinePress.net - Album Rating (9.5/10)
"The "truth" about this band is that they have a uniquely rich blend of fresh new rock with hints of 80's retro. O.T.A.S. has a mass appealing sound that takes you for a ride you never want to get off. Jump on board now and watch as the "story" unfolds!" - Tattoo Todd 95.7FM Daytona Beach
"Not only were there some big name acts at FMF like the above mentioned, but there were some really hot (both music and looks-wise) local bands as well. Noon Blue was absolutely amazing, as were Cori Yarckin, Of Truth and Stories, Woodale, and many, many more." - Orlando Citybeat
Bodog Battle Heats Up in Orlando
“Orlando's a hot town with a crazy load of talented musicians on tap… However, the hottest band of the evening was Of Truth and Stories , a proficient rock band who featured a solid drummer. Thanks a lot to the fans and the many talented bands for coming out tonight!” - Bodog Battle
"Want more OTAS? Heck, who doesn't. John [from ReAmp Entertainment Group] hooked me up with an advanced copy of the cd and holy rock-n-roll its AWESOME! Big shots Brett Hestla, Pete Thorton, and David Bendeth produced and mixed it. These guys have worked with heavy hitters such as Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Creed, Dark New Day...I could go on listing their resume but I do have work to do." - Brook-Pifer.com Rockstar Photographer

Day After Day
Of Truth And Stories Lyrics
In the past
So many things went wrong
But now
We have to keep going on
And you
Will never walk alone
And now
I'm trying to hold on
But I'm
Falling on my knees
I will
Try to get up soon
I hope so
Yeah
I hope so
Better days are coming now
I don't wanna waste my time
Better days are coming now
Better days are coming now
I don't wanna waste my time
Better days are coming now
Wir sind back in bizz
Es geht wieder los
Ey
Punker sterben nicht
Wir werden riesengroß
Ey
Hol die Papes und lass mal einen baun
Spring mit auf die wave und keiner hält uns auf
Weiter gehts im Takt
Die Uhren stehn' nie still
Uns doch scheissegal
Was die Zukunft von uns will
Wir machen unser Ding und wenns nicht klappt dann fuck it
Am Ende wird es wild Digga danke dass du da bist
Better days are coming now
I don't wanna waste my time
Better days are coming now
Better days are coming now
I don't wanna waste my time
Better days are coming now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Better days are coming now
I don't wanna waste my time
Better days are coming now
Better days
Better days
Better days
Better days
Better days
So many things went wrong
But now
We have to keep going on
And you
Will never walk alone
And now
I'm trying to hold on
But I'm
Falling on my knees
Try to get up soon
I hope so
Yeah
I hope so
Better days are coming now
I don't wanna waste my time
Better days are coming now
Better days are coming now
I don't wanna waste my time
Better days are coming now
Wir sind back in bizz
Es geht wieder los
Ey

Lyrics :
All my friends are movin' on
Getting hitched and then they're gone
And I'm alone, all alone
I'm in the same room as before
With mom and dad right next door
And I'm scared I might be here forever
I love them but some ties need to be severed
And I said I'd move out last year
So why the hell am I still here?
Oh, it's easy to say I'm ok
But this smile I'm wearing is fake
I'm suffocating
Living Groundhog Day
Day after day, day after day
I think I'm gonna break
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
My friend's baby's on the way
Just 22 but should I do the same?
But I'm broke and unemployed
Another night staring straight into the void and
I just wanna drive away
But I don't have a car so I guess I gotta stay
And it's easy to say I'm ok
Up and down these emotional waves
I'm sick and tired of living Groundhog Day
Day after day, day after day
And I think I'm gonna break
Day after day
Day after day
Day after day
Day after day
Day after day
Day after day
And it's easy to say I'm ok
But this smile I'm wearing is fake
I'm sick and tired of
Living Groundhog Day
Day after day, day after day
And I think I'm gonna break
I think I'm gonna break
And I think I'm gonna break
I-I-I-I-I-I
@siddhantjain8671
All my friends are movin' on
Gettin' hitched and then they're gone
And I'm alone
All alone

I love them but some ties need to be severed
And I said I'd move out last year
So why the hell am I still here?
Oh, it's easy to say I'm okay
But this smile I'm wearin' is fake
I'm suffocatin'
Livin' Groundhog Day
Day after day, day after day
And I think I'm gonna break
Ooh
Ooh
My friend's baby's on the way
Just 22 but should I do the same?
But I'm broke and unemployed
Another night starin' straight into the void and
I just wanna drive away (drive away)
But I don't have a car, so I guess I gotta stay
And it's easy to say I'm okay
Up and down these emotional waves
I'm sick and tired of
Livin' Groundhog day
Day after day, day after day
And I think I'm gonna break
Day after day, day after day, day after day
Day after day, day after day, day after day
And it's easy to say I'm okay
But this smile I'm wearin' is fake
I'm sick and tired of
Livin' Groundhog day
Day after day, day after day
And I think I'm gonna break
I think I'm gonna break
And I think I'm gonna break
