They're from the Milwaukee area, and formed in July 2005. Very shortly after forming they became stage ready. With a good half dozen songs, and a website being worked on, it seems like everything was coming together very quickly.
Band influences are Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, The Cars, Soundgarden, *early* Green Day, Foo Fighters, Bush, Candlebox, White Zombie, Metallica, Megadeth, and Godsmack.
They have a heavy alternative influence with a metal edge. They play hard and loud.
HOI will be "touring" around the Milwaukee area in the coming year, so visit the site periodically to see show updates.
