What Up In The Hammer

Ophelia Syndrome

"Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule." - Samuel Butler

This quote, though simple in its nature, describes the band Ophelia Syndrome’s approach to their music. Ophelia Syndrome is a unique blend of piano, acoustic guitar, cello, drums, bass, and vocals. They are described as melodic pop/rock with folk influences in the veins of the singer/songwriter.
"We try to create some sort of empathy for the listener; for them to feel before reasoning..." says Deanna Wells, the primary singer/songwriter of the band.
Ophelia Syndrome formed in the fall of 1998 with founding members Danielle Nunes and Deanna Wells. Francis and Wells Performed and recorded as a duo. They felt that the music was lacking elements, and in the winter of 2002 Trina Nadeau joined the band. In 2007 Adrian McFarlane, and Josh Kohler joined finally completing the sound. “Trina, Josh, and Adrian came in and made the music grow so much in terms of style” explains Deanna.
"We just want to bring our music to people, maybe make them laugh, or think, or perhaps just make them tap their toes... we just want our music to reach an audience." says Deanna. Approaching life and music by feeling and instinct describes the group and their haunting music.
