Praise for OK HOTEL:
“My new favourite song on first listen – now that doesn’t happen often. Impressive.” – Claire Mooney (triple j)
“These guys rip! If you can’t get around this then we can’t be mates.” – Dave Ruby Howe (triple j)

With their debut record “Swim” earning immediate praise on triple j, Wollongong’s OK Hotel have swiftly made a name for themselves as proponents of beltable, heart-on-your-sleeve alternative rock. The band have hit the mark again with their new single “Life is Crazy (Like That)”, blending an all out wall of fuzzy guitars with genuine lyrics ripe to raise your beer to.

“Everything I wanted to say came out in the ‘life is crazy like that’ chorus line,” said the band. “It was one of those rare occasions where the chorus wrote itself, with not much more than a single phrase. It was the very first thing I said on a voice memo and it stuck.
Growing up we get worn down by things we love, and not knowing where to start mapping boundaries can be tough. The songs about unhealthy friendships and questioning what it is that keeps people together in the first place.”

Wollongong-raised alt-rock three piece OK Hotel have been steadily gaining local support up and down the east coast, supporting the likes of Pist Idiots, Ruby Fields, Horror My Friend, TOTTY, and more. While drawing influence from fuzz-fuelled 90’s bands like Smashing Pumpkins, the band’s hook-driven choruses cement them firmly in the present.
With an EP set for release later this year, the band revealed a first taste in February with the high-energy, grippingly melodic rock track, “Swim”, produced by Fletcher Matthews (Dear Seattle, STUMPS, Sweater Curse, CLEWS).
With two world-class singles now released, OK Hotel have firmly planted themselves in the category of Australian rock bands to watch.
“Life is Crazy (Like That)” is available on all platforms now.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
