About ONOFF

ONOFF gained prominence in 2002 with their debut album Hey Jack! You're Late!, which hit number 7 on the Irish Tower Chart. Prior to the album, they had already performed sold-out shows across Ireland, including at the Ambassador Theatre. Known for their high-energy live performances—featuring fan participation, fire-breathing finales, and stage entrances in coffins—the band secured support slots with major acts like Fall Out Boy and Bad Religion and toured with Reel Big Fish.

In 2007, ONOFF supported their new album with two sold-out Irish tours and a European tour with De Heideroosjes. Their 2008 European debut album 'Don't Take Our Word For It' was well-received, leading to eight headline tours across Europe and coverage in major German music magazines.

By 2009, ONOFF was recognized as the Best Unsigned Band by HOTPRESS and headlined the LIVE STAGE at the HOTPRESS MUSIC SHOW in Dublin. Relocating to the U.S. in 2013, they released the video "Got That Feelin'" and their first American album, REBORN. The album, recorded in California, included notable tracks like "Keep That Fire Burning" and "Don't Look Surprised," which achieved significant airplay.

In 2019, ONOFF toured the U.S. West Coast, playing venues from Seattle to San Diego, with their final headline show at Harlow's in Sacramento. Late in 2019, they collaborated with hip-hop artist Da Bay Bully Dupree, releasing the track "Closer" in April 2020.
