Odd Project was a metal band (earlier stuff hardcore punk) from Orange County, California, which originally formed in 2000 and has recorded a few demos which resulted in a multi-album deal with Indianola Records. Odd Project then entered the recording studio at Zing Studio's (Killswitch Engage, From Autumn to Ashes, The Agony Scene) and recorded "The Second Hand Stopped" in just less than two weeks. With this release, they toured for over a month and a half and managed to win a spot on the main stage at Hellfest 2004.^[1]
