Time to Begin (Again)

August 22nd, 2025

There’s a certain kind of electricity in the air when OSullyman walks into a room, guitar slung over one shoulder, eyes glinting with the fire of a thousand stages. A veteran of LA’s riotous punk scene and a survivor of rock’s wildest decades, OSullyman is stepping back into the spotlight with a bold mission—and a brand-new single that’s ready to shake the world awake.

“Time to Begin” is more than just the name of OSullyman’s debut solo single—it’s a battle cry. A rallying point. A reintroduction. Dropping now as the first of nearly 50 songs recorded over the past few years, it marks the beginning of a new era for this seasoned rocker, who’s launching a musical campaign that will see him releasing a fresh track every single Friday. That’s right—New Music Friday just got a lot louder.

A Rock ’n’ Roll Odyssey

Born into the swirling madness of the 1960s counterculture, OSullyman grew up cradled in vinyl. The Beatles, Hendrix, the Stones—these weren’t just musical influences, they were spiritual guides. His parents, free-spirited beatniks with a record player always spinning, handed him a love for music that would shape his soul. Later, jazz legends like Miles Davis and Steely Dan gave his sound the complexity and cool swagger that still echoes through every chord.

By the 1980s, OSullyman was a full-throttle force in LA’s punk underground. As a member of the notorious bands UXA and ROSCO, he tore up stages across Southern California, sharing bills and studios with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Germs, Black Flag, X, Circle Jerks, and even the Go-Go’s. These weren’t just gigs—they were war zones of raw emotion, sweat, and sound. And OSullyman was front and center, wailing into the chaos.

Reinventing in Nashville

After the mayhem of LA, OSullyman set off in search of something new. That journey eventually led him to Nashville, the unlikely sanctuary where this punk survivor found the space to breathe—and create.

In recent years, he’s been quietly stockpiling tracks that span genres, tempos, and moods. From the haunting tones of blues to the urgent grit of punk, his upcoming releases promise to be as unpredictable as they are unforgettable.

Yet OSullyman hasn’t abandoned the stage. You’ll still find him igniting dive bars from Nashville’s Commodore Grille to LA’s infamous Roar Room—proof that no matter where he lands, rock follows.

A Fanbase Built One Track at a Time

This isn’t a nostalgia act. OSullyman is building something new—song by song, Friday by Friday. Each track is a story, a snapshot of a life lived loud.

His online fanbase is growing steadily with each drop, hungry for the next sonic twist. There’s a momentum brewing—like the low rumble before a storm.

“This isn’t just a comeback,” OSullyman says. “This is the beginning of a whole new chapter.”

“Time to Begin”

The first single, “Time to Begin,” is a raw, emotional rallying cry for anyone who’s been knocked down but refuses to stay there. With lines like “It rained too hard, and I’m thinking ’bout you” and “It’s time to light up the flame,” the song captures the ache of lost love, the fight to survive, and the fire to start again.

Set against a gritty, melodic backdrop, it’s about revival, resilience, and the primal drive to move forward—even when the path gets thin. It’s not just a song—it’s a lifeline for a world learning how to begin again.

Rock Is Alive. OSullyman Proves It.

With a guitar in his hands and nearly five decades of music behind him, OSullyman is rewriting the rules of what it means to be a rock artist today. Dive bars, digital drops, and a sound that refuses to be boxed in—it’s all part of the journey.

“Time to Begin” is out now on OohYeah—and if OSullyman has his way, this is only the beginning.
