Bio

ODD are Kahra Scott-James and Carlos T.

They suffer from Oppositional Defiance Disorder despite the fact that this type of conduct disorder is characteristically seen in children below the age of 9 or 10 years.

Their defiance has a provocative quality and like other O.D.D sufferers they initiate confrontations and generally exhibit excessive levels of rudeness, uncooperativeness, and resistance to authority.

Their music reflects this.

Sometimes they swear and use obscene language and say mean and hateful things when upset but that's okay because 1 in 4 NZ'ers has a mental illness and a lot of them play in bands or something to that effect.

This illness causes clinically significant impairment in social, academic or occupational functioning but we wont go into that right now because the most important thing is that they are learning to live with their disorder, share it even - with each other and you the punter...

.via the universal language of music.

Know them before you judge them because you never know, you just might learn to love them despite the fact that they are mentally ill. And even if you hate them that's okay too because they won't give a fuck anyway.

And that's the beauty of ODD.
