Los Angeles based trio OTTTO have confirmed the December 5, 2025 release of their new four-track EP Sweaty Pool in partnership with Regime Music Group. Produced by Tim Harkins, the record showcases bassist Tye Trujillo, vocalist Bryan Noah Ferretti, guitarist Michael Arms, and drummer Triko Chavez at their most musically diverse yet.
“This EP represents us entering a new chapter, with every track taking a different approach. It shows the diversity of dynamics we have,” commented Tye Trujillo. “We’re looking forward to sharing our music with the world and can’t wait to play these tunes live.”

The EP will also receive a special physical release on limited-edition vinyl for Record Store Day Black Friday on November 28, 2025.
The title track brings an extra jolt of chaos thanks to a guest appearance from Nick Oliveri (ex-Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss). Taking over lead vocal duties, Oliveri delivers a blast of raw punk ferocity that amplifies the band’s unrelenting edge.
“’Sweaty Pool’ is a crushing song that came together musically by the kick-ass, metal-driven heavy rock band OTTTO. These younger bros are great at their craft—individually and collectively—so when I was asked to write some lyrics and sing on one of the new tracks, it was a no-brainer,” said Oliveri.
Trujillo added: “I think this track shows how the universe works in an interestingly cool way. I grew up heavily influenced by Nick’s music, and years later here we are collaborating with him. Working with Nick is so legendary. It’s truly an honor—he’s a huge inspiration to me. The world isn’t ready for this track.”
Founded by Tye Trujillo, the current bassist of legendary punk band Suicidal Tendencies, OTTTO have carved out a fast-rising reputation since their 2020 self-titled debut and 2023’s acclaimed Life Is a Game. Refusing to be boxed in by genre, the band fuses punk, melody, grooves, and the spirit of the old-school Southern California underground. The result is a sound that balances speed, aggression, and intensity with a modern edge, pushing loud music into new territory.
With Sweaty Pool, OTTTO double down on their mission: to honor their influences while forging a style that is distinctly their own.
