= Triple-O =

Triple-O is an American rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The band consists of Rome Brady (vocals), Dude Jackson (guitars), AJ Nelson (guitars), Cam McDonald (bass), and 90-Bangz (drums). They have had the same lineup since 2003.

History
Triple-O was founded in 1990 by Rome Brady, Scottie NP, and Raven Kerr under the name "Drownin Pond". They recorded an EP titled, "Love". During this time, they played many shows across Illinois. In early 1993, they caught the eye of Dude Jackson, son of Lookout! Records recruiter Willie Jackson. They got signed and started recording their first album. Scottie NP left the band, and Dude Jackson joined it. Dude's friend, Eddie Hall, joined the band too. They changed the band's name to Triple-O.

They released their debut album named, "Cold California" in 1994. It'd earn them significant air-play around Chicago. The only single from the album, "So Rude" was a hit too.

After signing with Reprise Records in 1995, expectations were high, and they delievered. In 1996, they released their first major label album in, "Don't Wanna Go Dark". There were three singles (Sharkz, In My Eyes, and I Hate Big). In 1999, they released, "If I Had Any!", two singles from the album topped the charts.

After touring for two years, the band was tired. They wanted to go on a break but the record label wouldn't let them. They released, "Fall Off" in 2001. It was marred with issues. They finally took a break after that. In 2003, they released a compilation album, "Demo #1".

In 2006, the band got back together and released their fifth studio album, "My Old Man". This album was more rap than rock. The album was a moderate success. The band broke up in 2009 after tensions.

In 2011, they got back together again and recorded their sixth album, "Are You Happy?". It had two hit singles. "Propaganda" and "The Internet Age". They collabarated with pop-punk supergroup MOM to record their seventh album, "Triple-MOM", also known as "MOMMOMMOM" in 2012. They released their eighth album, "We're Disney" in 2014. Three hit singles came from that album. "Donald", "Slipper in my Hands", and "It Changes". They released three more albums. "Lennon, A Jerk" in 2017, "It's Over!!! (For Now..)" in 2019, and "Generation of Lies" in 2021.
