Omnibus is a psychedelic/garage rock band from the late '60s formed in New Milford, NJ. Their sound
incorporates raw fuzz guitar with moody east-coast organ, pulsating bass rhythms, and Morrison-esque vocals atop a drug-drenched lyrical and musical frenzy. The songs reflect self-elevation and protest that have not lost poignancy even fifty years later.
New Jersey’s Omnibus formed from the ashes of garage bands from the New Milford area: The
Cliffhangers, The Forerunners and The Vandals. Original members came from these three local bands and consisted of Jay Polt, Al Raimondi, Bob Wegrzyn, Bobby Marcinczack and Jerry Garino.
They soon hit the local scene and got in touch with brothers Steve and Eric Nathanson who would
become their managers and finance their first recordings. A United Artists recording deal was the next step, through wich the band issued their debut 45 “The Man Song” / “It’s All In Your Heart” plus their eponymous LP in 1970.
Omnibus had an amazing psychedelic sound that took all the right elements from West Coast bands like
The Doors or The Jefferson Airplane, Bosstown sound acts like Ultimate Spinach or Chicago hipsters like H.P. Lovecraft to produce their very own Made in Milford, N.J. mixture. Strong, dramatic vocals, tons of fuzz guitar and swirling organs built up their magic sound. For the first time since its original release in 1970, the infamous Omnibus is finally presented officially in high-resolution sound. Climb aboard the Omnibus and take a trip to the center of your mind.
Originally released in 1970, now reissued, this LP by a band from New Jersey had an amazing psychedelic sound. If you like bands like The Doors, The Children, Ultimate Spinach, The Beacon Street Union, Fever Tree or Clear Light you ought to have this one on your collection!
