Oslo is a rock band based in California. They have existed together as a trio, with a core of Mattia Borrani on lead vocals, Kerry Wayne James on bass, and Gabrial McNair on guitars. Famously, McNair was a touring member of the band No Doubt.[1]
They have since added keyboardist Damon Ramirez and went through twelve drummers, settling on original drummer Charlie Walker, who initially left the band to live in New York. They released their second album, The Rise and Fall of Love and Hate, in November 2007.[2]
