Through eight arena-ready anthems, Okay You Win’s hard-hitting forthcoming debut album »End Of Days« deploys a towering blend of driving riff-rock chiseled with a touch of psychedelic gold and doom breakdowns that hit like a collapsing cathedral – all propelled by frontman Dave Kirk’s breathtaking, soaring vocals. From the first riff to the final drum hit, this album washes over you with hooks that bury themselves in your skull for weeks, as shown by their recent »Smoke« video.

About the new single »Beat Me Down«, the band says, “We’ve all come face to face with people who are determined to hurt or belittle us, jobs that wear us down to the bones, and a world that somehow feels like it’s out to get us. »Beat Me Down« starts with an emphasis on ambience and repetition, mining and reflecting on these feelings and grievances, followed by choruses that shows there’s a rage inside of us that wants to be let out. These swirling emotions explode into a catharsis of pounding drums, psychedelic guitars, and one of the most intense vocal takes of the entire album, which all serve to remind us that whatever life throws our way, we are never standing down or giving up. This song is a furious cry of defiance and a refusal to be caged, broken or diminished. You beat me down… I stand.”

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« on the heels of a DesertFest London slot, with more live appearances to be announced this year.

Since their formation in London in 2023, Okay You Win have quickly built a solid reputation in the UK underground since their formation in London in 2023, 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.

“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.

Dave Kirk – Vocals
Ryan O’Hare – Guitar
Rodrigo Barradas – Bass
Antonio Peci – Drums
