history
Off! was founded in late 2009 by Circle Jerks & former Black Flag singer Keith Morris, Burning Brides frontman Dimitri Coats, Redd Kross & current Melvins bassist Steven Shane McDonald and Rocket From The Crypt & Hot Snakes drummer Mario Rubalcaba. The idea for the band is said to have come about while Dimitri Coats was producing a Circle Jerks album with Keith Morris. Coats and Morris started writing several songs together at the time and decided to found Off! .
The band made their first appearance in 2010 at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin , Texas . On October 13th 2010 they released their debut EP 1st EP , followed by 3 more EPs, which were remodeled to their first album First Four EPs on December 14th 2010 . After the band released their second album OFF! released their third album Wasted Years on April 8, 2014 . The album ranked 67th on the Billboard 200 , with more than half of sales being LPs .
The design of the record covers is done by Raymond Pettibon , who is known among other things for having designed many Black Flag record covers .
