OK Kings
This is the sound of cold surf a frigid flavour of cool Scandinavian melancholy that never sounded more suitable for the surfrighteous segment than just now. This comes across the instance you smack the laser to the plastic and let it all out. On Its OK there are fifteen moving melodies of frozen ferociousness, solemn serenity, and sheer cold instrumentality.
The Danish Rock Encyclopedia on OK KINGS:
The first actual instrumental surf group i Denmark. The quintet is true to the untamed and raw American sound from the early 60s but with some strong visual strokes from the universe of 50s and 60s western and b-movie.
Background:
Established in 1988 in Copenhagen. Playing odd venues for a helluvalot of years, first release wasnt until 1995 with Prayjob, a 7 5-track EP containing a soundtrack from the movie of that name. The tune Dont Touch My Surf Board! had a little airplay by John Peel. The year after saw Our Kingdom for a wave, a 10 10-track album. Same year OK KINGS won the rather un-prestigious Copenhagen Prize for Best Upcomming Act. Nevertheless they chose to say hasta luego, dudes and dudettes on the 9th of September 1996 from the legendary Plænen at Tivoli Gardens. Apart from sharing the bill with Dick Dale and Jon & The Nightriders around 2000 OK KINGS have kept a very low profile for 13 years. The cd youre holding should compensate for this lack of action, so give it a spin!
