‘Elevator Etiquette’, is a stomping, anti-9 to 5 punk banger born from negative office culture & being undervalued in the workplace. aggressive vocals, punchy riffs and reflective choruses drive the track at an urgent pace, before exploding into a frenzied breakdown that inspires mosh pits in sweaty venues.
Liverpool slacker punks alright (okay) combine distorted guitars and spoken word vocals to create a loose alt rock sound.
The band have built an underground following from viciously energetic live performances in sweaty basement venues in the North West.
Following recent shows alongside TV Priest and Alien Chicks, the band packed-out a headline show at Quarry, Liverpool to celebrate their latest single.
The crowd is whipped into a frenzy as the dense and scrappy sound of alright (okay) fills the venue. A combination of material new, old and unreleased keeps fans anticipating what’s to come next, before their “part man, part rottweiler” vocalist descends into the crowd.
The band are prolific, constantly writing and performing new material to audiences, evolving their sound with each individual track.
“A venue around half full becomes packed to near full capacity within little more than fifteen minutes, buzzing with a real excitement for the set ahead. It’s not hard to understand why; in Liverpool, alright (okay) are a band who you will have heard of, even if you haven’t heard them. Their reputation precedes them.
Things immediately erupt with ferocious hard rock energy, brought forth with a viciously energetic stage presence and spoken word vocals.
Their vocalist descends into the crowd, and the audience loves it; part man, part Rottweiler, he eggs the crowd on, whipping them up into a frenzy, before tearing them to shreds with a razor sharp, rock and roll menace.
This is how to open a show perfectly.”
“In a crowded musical space, Liverpool band alright (okay) turn heads.
It’s a heady mix of spiky abandon with the vocals but a tight punky control with the guitar chords and a drum beat you could tie a heart monitor to. There is an urgency about alright (okay) and the result is a stage presence of freshly uncaged hyenas.
alright (okay) are a band comfortable in their musical skin; there’s room both for a framework of a loose heavy style, but also for experiment.
The sonic landscape is just as bleak and yet powerfully beautiful.
Heavy on guitar, heavy on loose and chaotic, heavy on a positive beat and heavy on heavy. I’m sure I’m going deaf, but I’m pleased I’ve not wasted my hearing on shit sounds.
It really is time for the world to pick up on just how special this band is.”
“Like the sonic equivalent of standing at a cliff edge with your toes just hanging over the end, the song deals in the tension between far-reaching horizons and wide-world scenery, and the free-falling danger just one inch forward. Equally skittish, acidic, and high danceable, you just don’t know which way it will go.”
“alright (okay) have been making waves on their local underground scene for a good while now, known for their visceral live shows, quirky attitude and appealing dense and scrappy sound.
This scrappiness is not to be confused with sloppiness because every note they play is placed there with intent yet they prefer to perform with a lucid, Garage band style rather than a crisper, commercialised delivery.”
