Neck-twisting, toe-tapping alt-rockers Okay Dane have served up the first single from their new EP Alienation. Ambitiously titled “God Complex”, the brand new single wastes absolutely no time in dipping back in the hard and fast vibe of 90s rock, hot wheeling towards chaos and catharsis.
“[the song] is all about being taken advantage of and being powerless to do anything about it”, explained the Melbourne band. “It was written in a time fraught with frustration and angst, and that was a key emotion in how we wanted this to sound; it is well balanced with how fun it is to play and how hard it kicks! It’s pissed off and it’s bitter, but it’s also fun and cathartic”.
Anyone who eats up the tough and robust sounds of fellow Aussies Violent Soho should take straight to this one, which packs in a luscious melody squeezed amongst all that pent up energy. Give it a listen below and make sure you’re checking out for the band when they tour up and down the east coast all throughout October.
