On a train in 2018, Suman and Cecil found themselves just one stop away from a concert they were both going to. Fuelled by their shared love for music, they started playing casual acoustic sets at pubs on the Isle of Dogs in London.

​

At an impromptu gig, the night before a festival in 2022, Lex joining up with the duo proved to be a key turning point in the musical journey and the group quickly began collaborating and writing songs. 

​

In 2023, Nishant attended a local OSA gig and soon after joined the band, spurring the evolution into a full rock lineup along with the introduction of Ciaran and Sam in 2024.

​

Having members from a diverse background inspires OSA’s music to blend influences brought from British, Indian and American indie/alternative/pop roots across different musical eras.

 

The band's intention is clear: to create fun, modern music with an old-school vibe and catchy melodies.
