The Over Unders

The Over Unders are an Alt Rock duo from Eau Claire, Wisconsin now based in Minneapolis, MN comprised of brothers Sam (Guitar and Vocals) and Matthew (Drums) Hellman. Their fresh and enthusiastic take on classic rock n’ roll is often likened to their major influences who fall all along the diverse spectrum of power pop and classic alternative. Principal songwriter Sam Hellman’s favorites come through most, giving most of their tunes a “Big Star meets Replacements, by way of Gin Blossoms” vibe. Think Old 97’s and Ted Leo too, as these are common names mentioned when describing the Over Unders’ simple but complete sound. Perhaps what sets them apart from their Eau Claire peers most is their simultaneous willingness to shoot for the stars with anthemic rock songs that seek to emulate their heroes REM, and very fittingly, brother rock giants Oasis. Above all else, The Over Unders value well crafted songs that deliver honest confessions and observations about life. Their 2022 EP No Soap Radio went to work for them (Including their track "Rhonda" with 50K+ streams on Spotify), landing them a spot at legendary Minneapolis rock club 7th St. Entry, as well as a slot at Cadott, Wisconsin's Rockfest. Riding the wave of their recent growth the band has continued to expand their shows within the Midwest while consistently releasing new music along the way. 2024 saw the most fruitful year for the band's songwriting to date. A new LP is slotted for early summer with new singles dropping starting February 2025.
