The OFFS came to being when V. Vale brought together guitar player Billy Hawk and vocalist Don Vinil. They drew from rhythm & blues, soul, early German experimental music, dub, reggae and rock to create a dynamic new style. Billy Hawk was an old friend of Vale’s, and Don Vinil was in a previous band with Vale called Grand Mal, with Negative Trend guitarist Craig Gray from Canada.
