Okay Champ feature members of EAT FAST, and are part of the North East's fantastically creative DIY scene.
Still largely a rehearsal room experience, the band's live shows to date have underlined their sheer individuality; smeared, surreal post-punk with a woozy, slightly unsettling feel.
Debut single 'The Party's Over (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)' is incoming, a piece of barbed guitar mania that recalls everyone from early Wire to future of the left.
"The Party's Over (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road) is basically a giant strop about mortality, and Brexit," says singer John Edgar, "I'd prolapsed a disc in my back and we'd seemingly regressed seventy years overnight. It just poured out. I think it was written in about ten minutes. Then Dave wrote that solo!"
The video featured an un-named brunette, seemingly hired for her 'performance' over the net. It's odd, slightly jarring, and that makes it all the more riveting.
Okay Champ explain: "The video is agonising and funny. Much like the song I suppose. It's an amazing performance. She's brilliant. We love her."
