Bio

Of Former Fame began in early 2007 in one of the many suburbs of Portland, Oregon. Falling into the Modern, Alternative and even Metal Rock categories, Of Former Fame blends heavy riffs, enveloping melodies, and catchy vocals for a blend of rock that is unique and familiar at the same time. With influence like superstars such Chevelle, Foo Fighters and Breaking Benjamin, O.F.F. has created a unique mix of dynamic music worth checking out.
