The band consists of vocalist Densil McFarlane, guitarist Joe Brosnan and drummer Colanthony Humphrey. Keyboardist Jemuel Roberts was also a member of the band in the mid-2010s, but is no longer with the band.
The band was formed in 2007, initially as a hip-hop production duo consisting of McFarlane and Humphrey. Their music became more punk-oriented after they were arrested in a racial profiling incident, which interfered with McFarlane's plans to attend university in the United States. They released their debut EP, Interchorus, in 2009.

The lyrics to The OBGMs' song "Paranoid Paranoia" depict a sense of insignificance and a desire to escape the troubles and anxieties of daily life. The opening line, "Just a spec of dust inside a breeze," embodies this feeling of being small and vulnerable in a grander scheme. The following phrase, "learn to live a life amongst the trees," suggests a longing for a simpler existence and a connection to nature.
The lines "i won't be a fool inside / Paranoid paranoia" reveal a sense of determination to not succumb to the anxious and paranoid thoughts that can plague the mind. The repetition of the nonsensical phrases "gahahuauajajajajja / hahahajajajhaja / hahajajajajaja / jajajajajaja / hsjsjaja" at the end of the song adds an element of chaos and confusion, further emphasizing the overwhelming nature of paranoia and anxiety.
