Endless Night by The Obliging Victims
This album was a little over two years in the making. During that time I got a lot of help, support, love and inspiration to get it done. I would like to thank the beautiful souls that always continue to be there for me and who give me reasons to do this.
Thank you to my magical wood nymph and wife Alise—none of this would be real without you. These are always created for you, and I hope you always enjoy them. Our secret garden really is my favorite place in the world. Also you have great taste. I love you.
Thank you to my sons, Colin and Cole—both accomplished musicians and composers in their own right. Hearing what you guys make and sharing all of our work together keeps me energized and motivated to keep moving forward. I love you.
Thank you Holly, my longtime music partner, collaborator and friend. We started together, wrote together, grew together, and watched a lot of people come and go over the years. And here we are the last ones standing as we were the firsf. You are my biggest drum influence and I can’t wait to play together again. I love you.
Thank you to Freddy, Amy and Andy, my friends and creative family. After Alise and the boys, you guys are the people I most want to share this with and imagining the first listen with you keeps me going and striving to make it even better. I am so grateful for your friendship and inspiration. I love you.
For firing my imagination and inspiring these songs and this album (some directly, some indirectly) thank you to:
Wade Weber, Kelly Jarvis, Lyndsey Paynter, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ray Bradbury, Star Trek, Gustave the Nile Crocodile (RIP…maybe), and of course my horror godfather, Stephen King. Thank you for helping me find the lightness in darkness.

The Obliging Victims is a band of one—the brainchild of Cincinnati musician Kelley Kombrinck (vocalist/guitarist for longtime Cincy band “Pike”) who writes performs and produces every aspect of the dark psychedelic rock project.
A blend of sixties and seventies rock refracted through a prism of modern influences (grunge, LA psych scene, doom) to create a fuzzy, lo fi, psychedelic trip.
