Originally named osoosooso, the band began as a side-project EP released through Soft Speak Records.[2] Soon after, Lilitri decided to expand upon the project and shorten its name, citing misspelled tour flyers as one reason for the change.[3] That same year, Oso Oso released a split with emo band Free Throw.[4] In 2014, Oso Oso released their first full-length album titled Real Stories Of True People Who Kind Of Looked Like Monsters on Soft Speak Records.[5][6] In 2017, Oso Oso released their second full-length album titled The Yunahon Mixtape on Seal Mountain Records.[7][8][9] In January 2018, Oso Oso signed to Triple Crown Records.[10] The Yunahon Mixtape was repressed following the release of their first EP gb/ol h/nf / subside with Triple Crown Records.[11] In June of 2018 the band released gb/ol h/nf / subside, their first release since signing with Triple Crown Records.
Oso Oso released their third album Basking in the Glow on August 19, 2019.
The band's guitarist Tavish Maloney died in March 2021 aged 24.[12] In April, the band released the full video of their last show with Maloney, recorded in December 2020.[13]
In July of 2024, the band announced their new album Life Till Bones will be released on August 9, 2024 on Yunahon Entertainment LLC.[14]
Lilitri cites fellow Long Island emo bands Brand New and Taking Back Sunday as influences, recalling how often he listened to their respective sophomore albums Deja Entendu and Where You Want to Be in elementary school. His first concert was Bayside at a small club in 2006, with then-little known Paramore as the opening act. He was also influenced by Archers of Loaf, The Cars and Death Cab for Cutie.[15]
