OTEP got their start in Los Angeles. They were signed after only a few shows because of the massive buzz that surrounded the band’s live performances. (I have seen them before, and I can tell you that the attention is well deserved!) OTEP quickly made a name for themselves by playing Ozzfest not just once (as an unsigned band–insane!) but three times. Then our good friends over at Victory Records made the wise decision to sign the band and release their full-length album Smash the Control Machine. Just like Brian Fair from Shadows Fall and Chris Adler from Lamb of God, Otep is proud to say that she’s vegetarian and is dedicated to protecting animals!
Definitely inspiring. If you want to take that next step and enhance your life as Otep has done, you can request a copy of peta2’s “Guide to Going Vegan” and take the pledge to be vegan!
