oh!no?ok. hail from Salt Lake City, Utah and their indie psyche alt rock track Firemouth has such a lush sway to it. Love, love the big bass and extra thumpy drums (dig the fills and that snare shuffle). Love the psyche trippy rock guitar and big upswings on the chorus. The vocal aesthetic feels kind of 70's pop forward with chill or slacker tendencies. I love them and the lyrics that will surprise enough to grow a smirk or smile on your face.
"go ask the Bowie impersonator if ground control can see the three fingers I cannot find" or "never thought that I'd ever say God was dead but he threw me under the bus when I saw the flashing blue and red... he said hi, how are you buddy... I said hi buddy, how high are you!"
Delicious thick harmonies ensue as do more delicious electric guitar sounds. Dig this track.
oh!no?ok. are made up of high school friends Ryan Osborn, Cole Miller, Jackson Ludlow, and local guitarist Nick Storey.... bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.

oh!no?ok. is comprised of high school friends Ryan Osborn, Cole Miller, Jackson Ludlow, and local guitarist Nick Storey. They play the kind of music you’d hear blasting forth from a suburban garage in the height of the alt-rock boom of the 1990s but they update this scruffy aesthetic with sleek but-not-too-polished production and a dose of raw skate punk. Their songs feature cleverly abstract lyrics, bold musical dynamics, experimental textures, adventurous arrangements, and sharp pop-rock hooks. This melding of tuneful and arty conjures an array of classic and current alt-rock innovators.
