ABOUT
From the streets of Anaheim, California, emerges the one-of-a-kind sound of OKT. The 4-piece band has mastered a style all their own as they are able to blend psychedelic guitar riffs with reggae rhythms to compliment a soulful blues-inspired sound powered by powerful raw vocals.
Brothers, Aram and Jesse, originally formed OKT while in junior high. Vocalist, Phil Montano, later joined the band in 2008 after jamming a few Sublime covers with the newly formed group and while touring with Inhale in 2011, the band was introduced to Ralph, who became an official member of OKT in 2013.
Over the years, the band has gone from a heavily Blink 182-inspired Pop/Punk band into a local favorite whose sound clearly draws influences from multiple genres across the board. Their latest success comes with the release of their debut album, Better Late Than Never. After countless shows to go along with all the blood, sweat and tears the band has put into their music, OKT is proud to finally have some fully-produced music to put out for their diehard fans and all unsuspecting listeners.
** Better Late Than Never will be available on all major music outlets on July 27th, 2014!**
The band would like to give a shout out to their sponsors Alpha King Apparel, Suspicious Clothing, Players Club Tattoo Parlor, Uplift Apparel, Cali Love and Ace Music. A special shout out goes out to Sullen Clothing and Sullen Musik.
OKT continues their mission to inspire love, laughter and the pursuit of a higher state of mind to fans in their hometown of Orange County and beyond!
Their message: Be blessed. Stay positive… and have some fu*kin’ fun!
