G.O.D BIO
G.O.D 's concept is very simple it is that whilst governments make mistakes and people talk **** we just make music for all people.On my debut album their are many different styles of music .I tried to incorporate as many different styles as i could drawing from hip hop ,rock, punk,classical and many others my main influences are who ever makes interesting music whether it be conceptual ,lyrical or musical .To me music is god and all the rest is bullshit for music is love and freedom of exspresion so whether your a romantic asinic or just a person i hope i can create some music in your genre .Next two albums on the way is my classical guitar and another varying styles album lots of .
The new album nothing is everything also features a video which plays on your computer to the track i Don't Know
This was filmed in Almeria Spain and features horses dancers and beautiful scenery. If You want the full G.O.D experience it's a must to buy the cd.
Born 1976, Lawrence has studied guitar since an early age.

His influences span from Hendrix to Mozart.
Lawrence started writing his own lyrics at the age of sixteen and has continued since. Tunes and lyrics frequently come to him and he has always jotted down new ideas as they come to mind. He has played many gigs in London and elsewhere playing his own compositions. He currently teaches advanced maths part-time at an inner London F.E. college.He also teaches music at Uxbridge college.
Lawrence is a broadly based musician. He is currently producing three further albums. The first a classical guitar album, the second a classical voice album and a further modern album of his own material.
Press Release.
The singer Lawrence Greenman also writing influence has a sometimes demonic tone to his voice; he does seem to demonstrate some varying technical skills on tracks such as 'Boat' and 'Love is'. There is a good deal of social commentary in the lyrics and certainly some form of humour involved on every track. It's almost as though the tracks sneer at society in it's many aspects.
The band itself consists on some very good musicians, namely Robbie Gladwell, Phil Jarvis, Ben Pegley and Mark Simpson. They are a very tight unit and enjoy the music 'there is a tremendous feeling alround' quotes Lawrences.
THE NEW ALBUM NOTHING IS EVERYTHING IS OUT !
Yes it's Finaly here .The prequal too the massive of the cuf Jew Drops from heaven Is Here.It is diverse and with the Good range of tracks from the almost backerac 'i try to love you' too the emenem cross Matillica 'Born for the state'.THere is certainly something for everyone ranging from Rock Metal Folk Blues Flamenco dance and opera the album is a must have for the decerning music listner.
The singersong writer and guitarist Lawrence Greenman has a unique take on life and knows a good tune when he heres it. His songs have a catchiness too them that you feel like you have become contagous.You will be singing his songs in years too come.The guitars are very different to the first album and can be quite mesmerising at times
Do I believe in God?

H i G.O.D here and I am answering the question ''am I religious.'?
The short answer to that is I just Am I don't mean religious I mean I am We are ,you are .
In a way what I am saying is I don't believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden until I see them at the bottom of the garden and then in the great words of Ottis Reading I only believe half of what i see .I believe it was Decart who said the only thing he knows is that he exist's .If I am to believe the parameters around me such as the senses known and unknown then I exist . According to my reality I therefore exist . So if i exist it could be possible that a divine power exists but what is divine power other than the power of existence so it could be said that nothing is our biggest fear .If our biggest fear is nothing then the thing in control of nothing is our biggest fear which is g.o.d in control of NOTHING AND EVERYTHING but therefore it does and it doesn't exist so by that reason it does exist .As for theology it exists in a man made world which like in men in black could be a marble round a cats neck. Now we are entering the prison of reality and if we altered are reality then then perhaps we could have a different concept on what is and the thing that controls everything which also controls nothing must be everything and nothing .This would mean that god is us and we are elements of god welcome to the parade. If G.O.D did not exist it would be necessary to invent him and as to me G.O.D is as G.O.D does so therefore the race is on to reach it and the time machine and understand D.N.A. and enjoy ourselves .For that reason theology is slavery and only the one can show as far as everyone goes .Which leads to fate and the natural hierarchy of the kingdom acceptance being the key because only one sperm can reach the egg sometimes two like they say in the Hindu religion one god no problems .So swim you fucker's but I'm going to win .Because I control the direction your swimming in in in fact I am you swimming

"Nothing Is Everything" Reviewed by RadioIndy.com!

 "Nothing Is Everything" is an avant garde electronic punk album with hip-hop undertones from Government Overdose Department. G.O.D. is not only political in their content, but the band also delivers powerful messages about freedom of expression and offers an eclectic take on life. The arrangements are very creative, incorporating many genres and introducing you to sounds that will challenge your ears. The sound is full and well layered, with great instrumentation and an interesting blending of sounds. The mix does not sell the production short either; it’s well-polished and sounds really good. Highlights include "Marajuana," which has a killer arrangement, a great hook, and one of the most bizarre groans you have ever heard in a song. "G.O.D." opens with haunting spoken word and evolves into a nice barrage of well-layered lyrics with great diversity. "Mushroom Song" is a trip to say the least, as it opens with pure psychedelia and evolves into a strange punk/jazz number. If you enjoy psychedelic rock fused with punk, hip-hop, and electronica, Government Overdose Department’s “Nothing is Everything” will be quite the experience for you. (WARNING!

"Necromanscer" Reviewed by RadioIndy.com!

 “Necromanscer” by the Government Overdose Department is a creative and unusual mix of classical piano and deep, experimental vocals. The CD is a delightful yet unusual presentation of many well known classics from several countries. The piano work on the CD is clearly the work of an accomplished musician. The vocal style adds the uniqueness and creativity to the CD, since the vocals appear to be intended to create a more experimental/alternative flavor to the classic piano sound. This results in a unique combination that proves an innovative combination. The lyrics on the tracks are very humorous in places. “Ol Man River” is an old American classic most children learn or at least have heard in elementary school. “Caro Mio Ben” a presentation in the original language. The orchestral opening in “Droop Not Young Lover” is very typical for the period piece making one see the time of King Henry the V111. The simple piano in the opening of “Pupil Le Nere” again gives the 16th or 17th century feel. If you enjoy unusual and creative combinations of music, especially those with a classical aspect to them, you'll enjoy this CD. -L.
