Overdose was one of Malta's first heavy metal bands, based at the Rokarja AST in Tigne throughout the 1980s.

The original line up consisted of singer Miriam Spiteri (known as Miriam Gafa), guitarists Andrew Zammit and Joe "Spider" Fenech, bassist Stephen Spiteri and drummer Joseph Buttigieg.

On Saturday 28 May 1983 they appeared at the Tigne Chapel with fellow Rokarja band Acid for one of Malta's first Heavy Metal gigs featuring more than one metal act.

In 1984, Frans Darmanin and Ġeorġina Sammut replaced the bassist and lead singer, while Fenech parted company with the band.
