18 Over Par came out of Southern California in the early 2010s playing alternative rock. Their first single, "Flake," arrived in 2013 and became a calling card, a straightforward song about lost love that connected with people. They followed it with an EP of the same name.
In 2015 they put out another EP called "Down," and their debut album "Matter of Time" came in 2017. The band's lineup shifted over time, with founding guitarist Jason Berg leaving in 2017. The core settled around vocalist and guitarist Brian Shanks, bassist Aaron Yost, and drummer Mike Clinkenbeard.
Their songs like "Jimmy," "No One Can See Your Face," and "Stolen Car" kept to a familiar lane of guitar-driven rock with personal lyrics. They built a steady following in their region without much fanfare beyond that.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
