![Having turned heads upon the release of their fiery track ‘God Complex’ earlier this year, Melbourne’s Okay Dane returns with a second serving of expertly crafted rock music time in new single, ‘Headache’. Taken from their debut EP 'Alienation' - released November 29th - the sounds fit perfectly with what we’ve heard from Okay Dane already this year. Fast paced, anthemic and rooted in fun and energetic rock territory, the new music from the band is a great indicator of what is still to come. Capping off a fruitful year of recording and showcasing of some hectic new music, the trio have embraced a new chapter of the band with chaotic passion driving each new move. So much so, Okay Dane’s latest is another example of how tight the band has become as a writing and performance unit. The chorus builds in a way that it is easy to imagine sweaty crowds singing along with the undistilled glee you can only get at a rock show. Laid down at Melbourne’s Homesurgery Recordings with Jon Grace (Dear Seattle, Kingswood) and mastered by Sam K Sproull, ‘Headache’ is anything but. “‘Headache’ is the most pissed off and frenetic we’ve been on a recording. It felt really good to record and is always a blast to play live. Lyrically it’s the most to the point and juvenile we’ve been too, which was heaps of fun. At its heart it’s about lashing out and being frustrated with someone who can’t be reasoned with.” Okay Dane PRAISE FOR OKAY DANE “Into some of the melodies in this one and love when the vocals hit full power. Was waiting for that moment and it came. Love the tones in the guitars too, it blasts well.” Triple J Unearthed, Claire Mooney (‘Pretend’, 2019) “Anyone who eats up the tough and robust sounds of fellow Aussies Violent Soho should take straight to this one, which packs in a luscious melody squeezed amongst all that pent up energy.” The AU Review “I was impressed by the way ‘God Complex’ stirred my emotions, an exploration of a breakdown of a relationship, I can relate to the turmoil inside while realising that you are not being yourself.” Music Injection “With a sound that feels simultaneously fresh and reminiscent of your favourite rock acts, [the band] have pieced together a crunching alt-rock sound that’ll stick in your head for days.” Happy Magazine Having built a strong following for themselves on the Melbourne scene since their emergence in 2016 (formerly known as Funk Dancing For Self Defence), Okay Dane have been honing their craft and consistently elevating their presence in the studio and on stage. Set to launch ‘Headache’ and the Alienation EP in Melbourne in November, fans will finally be able to experience the full scope of what the band has been working on throughout 2019. OKAY DANE - ALIENATION - LAUNCH SHOW Friday, November 29th Bar Open Melbourne with Doonie Way, Signs and Symbols, Tina Growls Tickets ‘Headache’ is released Friday, November 22nd.
