London heavy rock foursome OKAY YOU WIN present the high-octane first single and video off their upcoming debut album "End of Days", to be issued on June 26th through Blues Funeral Recordings and supported by a run of UK shows in the spring and summer.
Deploying a double hit of heavy riffs and soaring vocals, Okay You Win have quickly built a solid reputation in the UK underground, bringing their blend of driving rock with stoned psychedelics and doomy breakdowns to a string of shows and festivals across England and further afield. Drawing heavily on Seattle grunge, California desert rock, 90s alt-rock and classic British metal, the four-piece caught the attention of fellow UK rockers Psychlona, who offered enthusiastic support and guided their friends toward producer Andy Hawkins and The Nave studio in Leeds for the recording of their debut album.
Following a year that saw performances in London, Edinburgh, Norwich, Birmingham, and a short tour around Spain, Okay You Win are ready to unleash End of Days in June 2026 on the heels of a DesertFest London slot, with lots more live appearances to follow this year.
"The album 'End of Days' has been a long time coming, but we’re so excited that it’s all finally kicking off. We started recording this album back at the end of 2024 after road testing the songs far and wide across the UK heavy scene, and with this album, we really think we've captured all of that raw energy and feeling from our first years out on the road," the band comments.
About the first single, they add, "‘Smoke’ has been a real favourite with audiences out on the road, and it’s a great representation of where we've come from and what we're all about. This thing feels like it's still just getting started, but we’re on a roll now, with plenty more fuel in the tank, and plenty more riffs in the bag."
