JOIN OUR GROUP ON FACEBOOK!! "OK TOKYO FAN CLUB"
***'They currently sound like no one else on this planet. Think dirty funk-punk made in the year 2017'***
----- blah blah magazine ------
***'OK Tokyo are quite possibly the embodiment of the overused phrase 'undiscovered gem'***
----- www.thisisfakediy.co.uk ------
***'Wow! Thats all I have to say. This band could be huge. If you like quirky garage band material, you will LOVE these guys!'***
----- www.thedailychorus.com -----
***'With their melodramatic powerpop, seasoned with a good handful of funk, punk and whatever else could be gleaned from the soniferous spice rack, this three-piece cooks up a bonkers little gastrosonic delight'***

Having saved the universe, the group by chance watched archiPod footage of 2010's X Factor wars which destroyed half the earth's population. From their comet studio OK Tokyo, made the decision to travel back through time to avert disaster for their forefathers. But there was a problem - where did they emerge to base their funky mission of hope? Reading. Or more specifically, 'a cow shed on a farm in Reading.'
Growing up they had only a niggle, a feeling to follow, and Sammy says him and Jonny spent years trying to find their way, 'We have been writing music together since we were kids, including two experimental rap albums when we were 16.' It seemed they were missing something, or rather someone. Having unconsciously followed the scent of cosmic dust, local drumming legend Matt entered the scene. They called themselves OK Tokyo, after the most futuristic city on the planet, and locked themselves away to reconnect.
'When Matt came along, everything fell into place,' says Sammy, 'We got in the cow shed and threw ideas around. Jules Verne, Blade Runner, Clubber Lang from Rocky 3 showed up, and musically, early Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, mainly pop acts, but also bands like Outkast, who've gone into their genre and spun it up a bit. We created a dreamworld. I think you could call it escapism.' You certainly could. The results show that the cow shed jumped over the moon.
Combing hypersonic disco beats, supercharged guitar riffs and stratospheric vocals melodramatic, OK Tokyo channel their ambitious energies through punk-funk towards pop choruses so huge they'll reach deep space.
Debut single 'You Better Believe It' is the perfect trailer. Grounded in the tale of 'a relationship mishap,' it spits sparks all over the place, hitting Klaxons, Test Icicles, even Girls Alouds, and warns all coming loves about, as Sammy says, 'this is how its going to be in the future.'
Why wait around for the future? It's already here.
