What their label says...
Ok Tokyo describe themselves as ‘a futurist pop-rock disco act - in our minds we’re floating in a capsule above earth with Flash Gordon, Jimi Hendrix and Quincy Jones.’
Debut single ‘You Better Believe It’ brought the party, the fun, the personality, the riffs. Everything in fact. Now Ok Tokyo are B – A – C – K … ‘Sums’ is the latest offering, ready to detonate all over your summer and beyond. It’s like a sonic explosion that will shake the rafters of the country. Released as a strictly limited edition, one sided, clear orange 7” it not only looks like ‘The Future’, ‘Sums’ sounds 20 zillion light years beyond The Future.
9PR are once again handling press. Following on from an excellent campaign for ‘YBBI’ where NME fell head over heels in love with the band featuring them 3 times in 4 weeks and making the Tokyo’s debut platter Vinyl Of The Week describing it as ‘Ludicrous. Good Ludicrous’. The Guardian made the band ‘New Band Of The Day’ and The Fly named them ‘Ones To Watch’. And quite correctly. Alchemy are handling national radio and all the key stations and shows have now been serviced. Anticipation is high.
‘There’s a good chance they’ll be utterly unavoidable in 2008’ – NME ‘Godzilla-sized anthems, like Queens Of The Stone Age were locked in a cupboard with Franz Ferdinand with Outkast cookin’ hot wings in the background’ – The Fly ‘Setting out to subvert the mainstream - whatever that is - with their pyrotechnic power pop, OK Tokyo aren't half bad’ Guardian ‘ New Band Of The Day’
