The Start
OLMECS was formed in San Diego CA 2020 when Todd Price purchased a Tascam 8 track recorder and started sharing music files with his friend Eric Oliver. The pandemic necessitated working under these circumstances. Todd and Eric are long time musicians who’ve played in numerous other bands live and generated multiple other recordings. Some of their previous groups include: Todd (Guff, Batwings, Altaira, Russian Tremors, Extinct Animals, Erectorset, etc..) Eric (FKenal, Cabuloan, Extinct Animals,etc)
Conceptually, the band considers ourselves as conduits of messages of global awareness and interconnectivity. The natural state and travel are celebrated and ideas of sustainable practice in global
appreciation is nurtured.
Musically, we combine traditional rock instruments like guitar, bass and drums, utilizing multiple effects pedals, to create an intertwining harmonic dissonance to both salve and disrupt brainwaves aurally.
Progression
Todd Price is originally from GA and moved to San Diego CA from Athens GA in 2003. He has been in numerous punk rock bands including bass for Guff (Gokart Records NYC) and Altaira (ADD records/Snuffy Smile records Tampa FL/Tokyo).
