When members of a band come from disparate backgrounds, each member’s idiosyncrasies and individuality come together to form a new collective identity. That certainly has been the case for Ocean Park Standoff since forming in 2014. For as different as Pete Nappi (producer, drummer, & hip-hop head),Samantha Ronson (UK-born multi-instrumentalist, lyricist, and internationally renowned DJ) and Ethan Thompson (multi-instrumentalist, classically trained vocalist and singer-songwriter) might seem at first glance, they quickly turned Ocean Park Standoffinto an amalgamation of artistry and vision giving OPS its creative energy and identity; a trio from different worlds colliding to create aggressively uplifting, alternative leaning, hip-hop influenced party anthems.
