Olde Rage, for lack of a better description, is a 55+ punk rock band from Dunedin, FL, formed in 2020.
Sick of talking about the good old days of being in a band, four olde friends decided to make a go of it. It was a much cooler option for a mid-life crisis than the gold chain and Corvette.
The band consists of Tampa-area veterans of the punk and metal scenes dating back to 1985. Guitarist Mike Salyers was known as a top-notch metal drummer (Osiris, Mortuary Society), before injuries forced him to give up the drum stool and concentrate fully on his love of guitars! Bassist Chris Kessler made his mark with Mike in Osiris. Chris also had his bouts with injury, causing him to forego a strap and mount his bass on a pool cue, played like an upright bass! Drummer Scott Watson spent his formative years with the Reckless Deerhunters. Kilted-vocalist John O’Brien started out in the Tampa Bay metal band Fester.
Olde Rage, is an unexpected pleasure for a bunch of guys in their mid-50’s that haven’t been active in the scene for 20-30 years. Some members last releases were sold on cassette-only in a pre-internet world of pen-pal marketing. Somehow, this band that sprung up out of nowhere settled right in to a scene of veteran bands, and younger bands that were born years after these guys had put music careers aside. A great example of not letting your passions die, Olde Rage somehow manages to generate decades worth of unused energy into the music. Then, a good nap…
