Who, or what is OVERTIME? Fill us in.
Damian: Overtime was a band that Ben and Matt from No Warning and I started for the sole purpose of bumming people out three years ago. It was me trying to sing like the dude in Confront and music was ripped off all the bands we were into at the time. We recorded a demo and played a couple of shows and then I left for school and the band was put on hold. With those dudes being in No Warning it's kind of hard to do anything with the band but its always talked about.. Recently we recorded a new demo and changed the name to

Pressing Info:
Don't ask
Inserts:
All (known) versions come with same insert
Variants:
This is where it gets complicated; there are several sleeve and vinyl variants. The vinyl variants were all pressed on black and clear vinyl and have the same 'A' side label. The record is single-sided and most have the "Zodiac" text screen-print the 'B' side.
 |
Vinyl: 'A' side label and 'B' side screen print.
White screened text on black vinyl seems to be the most common version... |
 |
Here we have 5 variants of the screen print (4 on black, 1 on clear vinyl). The bottom right version has a white label on the 'B' side and no screen print ('A' side label is as per the other versions).
The black screen text on black vinyl version (top right) was used for the "Pink Eye Fan-Club" box- set limited to 30.
Further black vinyl variants are rumoured to exist (i.e. different screen print colours). If you see one please send us a picture.

 |
| The white-label ones seem to be less common. This one comes with a doodle by an unknown artist; others are left plain and some were used for the "Family Press" limited to 10 |
 |
| There is also a clear vinyl version with no screen-print or label, used for the “You can’t kill what you can’t see" press, limited to 8. |
Sleeve & Other Variants:
 |
"Pink Eye Fan Club" press had the black screen-print on black vinyl, bundled with the first edition of Damian's Killer zine. The record dust-sleeves are hand-numbered out of 30 and have Crim-Sane crime-scene finger-prints dabbed on. A Pink Eye button badge completes the package.
Unfortunately, several of the records have been orphaned from their zine, separated from their button and left to fend for themselves on discogs or ebay. The picture shows #2 (or maybe #28) with foster family. |

And there's more... mysterious pink sleeve, and what looks like a black dust sleeve with hand-drawn CI graphic...

Notes:
A short-lived side project between Damian Abraham of Fucked Up, Matt Delong of No Warning, and Ben Cook of both bands. This demo was originally released as a tape and then came out on a single-sided 7” with a seemingly infinite number of variants. I remember talking to Damian about this one and him telling me that even he doesn’t have all the variants of the record. Apparently the regular version of the record is on clear vinyl, with a black silk-screened B-side. The black vinyl version was supposed to have a blank B-side, but a small number of the copies had different colored silk-screening on the B-side... I’m pretty sure 7 copies exist of a white and pink screened B-side. I think there’s also another shade of pink, green, and blue screened B-side variants out there. There were also 30 copies of a Pink Eye Club edition, 20 copies with alternate art done by Damian when they ran out of covers, 10 copies of a family pressing which features hand-drawn art by Damian on the blank B-side label, and a test press with alternate art that I know about. Oh and the record itself? It totally rules. Total bare-bones, heavy-hittin’ hardcore that sounds like the perfect ground between Fucked Up and No Warning. Get into it.

What are the band's influences? I definitely hear DYS and ANTIDOTE...
Matt:
Definitely a big DYS influence on the demo, , ANTIDOTE a bit too ya, the newer stuff is like Poison Idea...
Talk a bit about your upcoming 7", Where? When? With Whom? What songs?
Matt:
We are doing 2 records, a 7" with Deranged and a 12"EP with Parts Unknown which is going to be 8 brand new songs...

Parts Unknown ended up pressing the demo 7". Some of the tracks intended for the LP appear on the Pink Eye CD and some apparently became Violent Minds songs.
The CI demo was also hand-dubbed to cassette for use ahead of the vinyl release
