Olivia the Band released its self-titled debut album in 2004. The Hawaiian natives play Christian punk rock, a specialty that has taken them on tours across America, Japan, and Australia.

They’ve been based in San Diego since 2004. According to their press kit, "The punk rock band hopes to encourage their fans to have fun and to see God’s love as the source of true happiness."

Their most recent album -- Where We Come From, It Never Snows -- was released in January 2008.
