The Ok
Social Club are undoubtedly one of Scotland's brightest
young bands. Formed in the summer of 2011, the 4-piece draw from a diverse
range of influences from 50's girl groups to 70's punk, exhibiting guitar
driven foot stomping rhythms and unforgettable hooks.
2012 has seen the
release of the band’s first two singles The Shape Of Things To Come
and The Late 90’s which have won them praise and exposure via the
likes of Soccer AM, BBC Radio Scotland’s Janice Forsyth show ‘Single Of The
Month‘, MTV, Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, Hollyoaks, Steve Lamacq’s Rebel
Playlist Winner on BBC 6 Music, and playlisting
in Topshop stores worldwide including 10 weeks in the New York store.
The Daily Record said of their debut single “If they
can stay this good they are Scotland’s next big band.”
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.
2013 is gearing up to be an exciting year for the band,
with the release of their debut album Nothing In Common along
with a full-scale UK tour.
Preceding that, as a further taster for the album a new single 'Gezellig' is released on December 17th, and to round off a highly
successful 12 months, the band are to perform at Edinburgh's legendary Hogmanay
celebrations. Front-man Raff Eragona says "We're excited to be part of the biggest New
Years Eve party in the world, we're very proud to be representing new Scottish
music and if everyone's as up for it as we are, it's going to be some
night!".
