ONTOLOGICS is an experimental, multi-instrumentalist duo that has been recognized for fusing genres like progressive rock, hip-hop, electronica, and jazz with sharp lyricism and an explosive live presence. Based in Providence, RI, the duo features singer/songwriter, Ian Campopiano and drummer, Matthew Walshe. Ontologics upcoming album (LP IV / 2.23.24) features Andrew Morris of Indiana (Berklee Alum) on drums.

Their latest release, LP IV, It's Safe To Say The Veil Is Thinning (Release Date: 2/29/24) features the return of P-NUT / Aaron Wills of 311 for the third consecutive record.

Prior to working with Ontologics on LP III, P-NUT collaborated on their sophomore album, on track “Primal Discourse”, and previously said of the duo, “they turned this song into like a science fiction masterpiece. And if we can’t beat that, I think we should just do a cover of their song" - P-Nut, popdose.com interview, referencing the “Go” Demo

Ontologics’ have had three Top 30 consecutive albums on the Relix Magazine/ Jambands.com national college radio chart for over three consecutive months and breaking the Top 10 with both records. The band achieved outstanding success on national specialty radio, reaching #16 on the FMQB Top 200 SubModern chart and #11 on the Alternative Specialty singles chart (KKBB). Albums, Something To Needle Over, and Drones From Home have received scores of reviews and features noting their eclectic artistic depth and exploration of genre blurring.

"Maverick Duo" -DPRP [LP IV]

"..flamboyantly arrange tunes that border on the weirdness of early Frank Zappa.." -DPRP [LPIV]

"..barrage the senses with a sonic cornucopia."

"Ontologics really stands alone with how they craft their songs.." -Cranston Herald [LPIV]

"It wouldn't be crazy to say that this album has been one of the most innovative we've heard in a long time..." - Nacion Progresiva [LPIV]

"..multicultural collection of sounds.." -Nacion Progesiva [LP IV]
