J. D. OVERDRIVE are four handsome young fellows who are very fond of playing golf and hosting baroque poetry readings. Oh, and they also enjoy tearing shit up during energetic live shows. For you see, this particular group of rapscallions focuses its musical interests on dirty, American-style metal soaked in southern rock and whiskey fumes (one brand in particular, wink wink...).

They celebrated their live debut alongside JESUS CHRYSLER SUICIDE and played their next two shows supporting the Milwaukee-based mash-up heroes BEATALLICA. Over the years JDO had the pleasure and privilege to share the stage with such acclaimed acts as DOWN, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, WHITESNAKE, BLOOD CEREMONY and SOULFLY. In May 2011 the band released their debut album “Sex, Whiskey & Southern Blood”, which featured 11 tracks, including a fancy pants intro and a bold cover version of Jimi Henrix's “Purple Haze”. 2012 marks a new chapter for the lads – a year full of live endeavors and writing material for a follow-up LP: "Fortune Favors The Brave".
