1) Ozma is a five-piece rock group from Pasadena, California, United States. Their sound is a mix of new wave-influenced power pop and rock with Casiotone-driven melodies and heavy guitar riffs. The complexity of Ozma's songs grew considerably during the band's initial nine-year history, and after their split in 2004 they announced their reformation in early 2006.
The band was formed in September 1995 by Ryen Slegr (vocals/guitar), Daniel Brummel (vocals/bass), Jose Galvez (guitar/vocals), and Pat Edwards (drums), with the later addition of Star Wick (keyboard/flute). After assembling a collection of early demos called Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars, the band self-released their first proper full-length Rock and Roll Part 3 on January 1st, 2000. Characterized by distorted guitars, melodic basslines, keyboard-driven hooks, vocal harmonies, and confessional lyrics, the album won the band considerable acclaim via the Internet -- Ozma was one formative success story of online word-of-mouth via Napster and MP3.com. Ultimately, buzz surrounding the band became loud enough to reach Weezer, who would eventually take Ozma (along with The Get Up Kids) on their first arena tour in 2001.
Ozma's second self-released full-length, The Doubble Donkey Disc, saw their sound branch out considerably into complex harmonies and long instrumental passages in mocking homage to prog- and classic-rock. The first half was united by Russian instruments, melodies and allusions, while the second half was more frenetic and attempted to briefly spotlight each member of the band - another tenet of classic rock. In 2001 the band signed to Kung Fu Records, owned by Joe Escalante of The Vandals. Kung Fu remastered and re-released Rock and Roll Part 3 and The Doubble Donkey Disc to a much larger audience, and the band embarked on several national tours including another stint with Weezer (the 2002 Extended Midget tour with Saves The Day) and the 2002 Warped Tour, as well as club tours with Nada Surf, Rilo Kiley, Piebald, Superdrag, and Rooney.
The band's third and final album before a long hiatus was 2003's Spending Time on the Borderline, produced by Chris Fudurich (Nada Surf). More unique, mature, orchestral, and sonically diverse than the first two albums, Spending Time... still dipped into pseudo-prog and classic-rock novelty that the band had briefly explored on The Doubble Donkey Disc. The stress of touring eventually wore down the band, and the quintet called it quits in July 2004 after several months on the road promoting Spending Time on the Borderline. The members went back to school and pursued side-projects; notably, Brummel released a collection of folk-influenced recordings called Speak Easy, and Slegr & Galvez performed and recorded as Yes Dear with Nate Greely of Arlo.
The band reunited for several sold-out shows in Los Angeles in 2006 with Kenn Shane (formerly of Addison) replacing Edwards on drums, and remains together. After previewing several demos and videos of the recording sessions on their MySpace page in late 2006 and early 2007, their fourth album, Pasadena, was released in May 2007.
Ozma headlined their own tour through the Summer of 2007 with newcomers The Actual and Eastern Conference Champions backing them up. In the Fall of 2007 they toured as the backing band to both Blue October and Shiny Toy Guns throughout The United States.
In 2014, Ozma self-released their 5th album Boomtown.

Ozma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you hear the words I sing?
A crush can never be resolved
Seems like every resolution ends in tragedy
Singin' whoa, my eponine
we swore we'd die to end this bolshevik
And now it's time
(whoa) my eponine, can't you hear the words I sing?
Can't you hear the words I sing?
you can't just let this world revolve
Seems like every revolution ends in casualty
singin' whoa oh oh oh my eponine
before you go, just these last words for you
I love you so
And love can bring an end to all your woe
(whoa) my eponine, can't you hear the words I sing?
Whoa my eponine, you can't just let this world revolve
Whoa my eponine, can't you hear the words?
Can't you hear these words?
Whoa my eponine, can't you hear the words I sing?
The lyrics to OZMA's song "Eponine" convey the tumultuous emotions of a person in love with someone they cannot have. The song references the character Eponine from Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables," who is hopelessly in love with the main character, Marius. The first verse expresses the frustration that comes with unrequited love. The singer pleads for their love interest, Eponine, to hear the words they sing and to understand their feelings. However, the crush is seemingly impossible to resolve, and every attempt ends in tragedy.
The second verse shifts to a reference to the Bolshevik Revolution, which may symbolize a desire for change and revolutionary action. The singer and Eponine had vowed to fight and die for this cause, but now it's time to end Eponine's sorrow. The chorus repeats the plea to Eponine to listen to the singer's words and not let the world revolve in tragedy. The final verse is a farewell to Eponine, with the singer declaring their love and hoping that it can bring an end to her woe. Overall, this song portrays the pain of unattainable love and the desire for change, set against a turbulent historical backdrop.

These guys were so fearless. They didn't care whether or not their stuff was going to be bought. They probably hoped it was more than happened to be the case. They made music that was beyond melodic and based around guitars. Very few other bands can claim the same. I respect them above so many other bands.
