Archive material and source history
Old formed in Athens, Georgia in 1994 with Matt Mahaffey on vocals and guitar, Stacy King on bass, and John Cougar on drums. Their debut album 'Build Me a List' came out in 1997, featuring the single 'Bathrooms Rule' which got some attention in alternative circles.
They put out three more albums over the next decade: 'This Perfect World' in 1999, 'Broken Base' in 2001, and 'Marching to the End' in 2007. King left the band in 1999, and Aaron Burtch joined on bass when they reunited in 2006.
Their songs like 'Citient Null,' 'Cocaine,' and 'Disassemble' have a raw, direct quality that appealed to listeners who liked punk and grunge without too much polish. The band's activity has been sporadic since their 2007 album.
