   About AOK

AOK has disbanded but here's what we're doing:


Rachel now rages in I Was Totally Destroying It
Justin now lives in Chicago but still makes beats with Leif in projects called The LOC and Nouveau.
Connor is a young money millionaire.
Reed now plays in Casual Curious and sometimes Across The Elementary
Reed and Leif also sometimes play in Deep Sea Diving
Max was last spotted in the plains of Kathmandu.

Thanks for listening through the years! There's some new live recordings up now.

You can still buy our stuff!

We're AOK from Durham North Carolina. We are: Rachel (synth, vocals), Leif (guitar), Justin (guitar), Connor (bass), Reed (drums). AOK started in Durham in August of 2005 and have been playing for over a year strong. We have one ep released in January of 2006, "Locations Reel". "Locations Reel" sparked interest in a younger crowed due to it's catchy harmonies and memorable instrumentals. A single soon followed called "Missouri Loves Company", and was released on a local Ska Skank Productions sampler. While playing shows all around the Durham, Chapel Hill and Carrboro area, AOK defined it's raw, synth driven indie reminiscent of earlier Kansas band "The Anniversary". In June, AOK's original drummer Max Kaufman left the band to finish high school at North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem and was replaced by Reed Benjamin (of Across the Elementary and Deep Sea Diving). The band began to practice again and will start the process of writing and recording a new release coupled with tons of local shows. Look for AOK in your area soon with new songs on the way or check out their older release "Locations Reel" available for purchase below.



Locations Reel CD/EP
1. Orchid 2. The Scheme of Things
3. Crutches 4. Lonely Skies Stay Beautiful
5. Where There's Smoke There's Fire

It's $2 and is avaliable from one of the band members, Bull City Records in Durham, or you can order it online by clicking the button below. Pick a copy up.
