Raspbernie Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Anybody hear this band?Bernie- - - -Entertainment WeeklySeptember 2, 2005MUSIC/POP/ROCKOh No (Capitol)These Chicago popsters hone their guitar pop down to a sharp edge on their second album, buffeting such romper-stompers as "Here It Goes Again" and "It's a Disaster" with meaty riffage and "hooray for rock" vocal harmonies. Students of the cunning pop majesty of the Cars and the Raspberries, OK Go aren't out to change the world, but their sturdy hand-clappers deserve to be recognized for what they are: fresh slices of power-chord sunshine.

popdude Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Yes. OK Go is cool, in a riffy-pop, rock anthem sorta way. The big tune from their first release was called "Get Over It," which, to me, sounded a lot like J. Geils Band's "Love Stinks" without all the squiggly synths.Basically, you could call it power pop with an emphasis on the power.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
