The Ok Social Club - new single - 'The Late 90's'

'The Late 90’s' is the second single from Edinburgh's The OK Social Club, to be released July 9th 2012 on Platform Records. This follows their successful debut 'The Shape of Things to Come', which came out in March 2012.

As well as being featured on Sky Sports’ Soccer AM and being chosen as Single of The Month on BBC Scotland’s Janice Forsyth Show, The Shape of Things to Come also won Steve Lamacq’s rebel playlist against The Futureheads and Tribes. The track was also aired on BBC 6 Music, XFM,Q Radio and in Topshop stores throughout the UK.

The Daily Record said of the debut single “If they can stay this good they are Scotland’s next big band.” The guys believe that their follow-up single will build on this success and are delighted that people are keen to hear more.

Bassist Gordy Burn says '' The Shape of Things to Come was an introduction to what the band sound like, but The Late 90's shows our punk side and gives people a taste of our live energy.”

''It’s great that people are eager to hear more from us, We want to release new stuff as much as we can, that’s why we’re putting a couple of B-sides on each of our singles” adds the bands frontman Raff Eragona. “Expectations are high and that’s a good thing, it keeps us on our toes.”

Their first Scottish tour has included sold out shows in Edinburgh and Glasgow and has helped The OK Social Club build a following all over the country. Dates are now booked across the UK to coincide with the release of The Late 90’s.

The Late 90's is released July 9th on Platform Records.
