Top 5 Feature: Odd Duck

  Odd Duck is a small business specializing in clothing, coffees and merchandise collaborations with independent bands and businesses. The Centerville, Ohio-based word-of-mouth online shop near Dayton was formed from the ashes of former apparel and accessories business Sven & Katies in April 2025. In this OOTB Interview, Ashley Oscarson—the man behind the scenes, who handles all designs, social media, fulfillment and networking—tells us more: Why did you want to start Odd Duck?  I wanted to create awesome merch for independent bands. Everything online is made to order, so I can provide way more than just a shirt or two, and elevate what they have available—from shirts to coffees to phone cases to blankets. How did the company name originate?   I feel I've always been an Odd Duck since I was a child... and what we do is not the norm. What artists and businesses are you currently working with?   We currently have collabs with: Symmetrical Defiance, To Kill A Monste...

Top 5 Feature: Cory Collins

  My name is Cory Collins. I am 31. I’m a rapper and a rocker. I’m from a small town in southern Ohio called Jackson and currently reside in Portsmouth. Guitar is my first true love, but rap is where heart is these days; I started playing guitar when i was in 7th grade and been rapping since 16.  While growing up, my influences were everything from Eminem, Tupac, Linkin Park, Bullet For My Valentine. These days I’ve really been into bands like Bad Omens, Motionless In White and The Devil Wears Prada. I just got my first two sponsorships from SevanCeas Clothing and by Dubby Energy, as well as just launched a clothing company of my own with my fiancĂ©. She does more of running it though than I do, she loves making the clothes. It’s called C&A Custom Designs.  I’m currently in the studio working on my newest work—a mixture of rock and rap, by far my best work to date. Should be done with it by mid-summer of this year, I’m still working out the details for a release date. ...
