GetToTheFront: For people who haven’t heard of Octane OK, can you give us the name of each band member and a quirky fact for each band member?

Octane Ok: Paul Tandy (Lead vocals & guitar) - Guilty for being a big fan of cheesy pop (Glee, JLS, Justin Bieber!)
Matt Harper (Bass & Backing vocals) - Has been tying his shoe laces wrong for the past 21 years.
Mikey Rainsford (Guitar & Backing vocals) - The youngest member of the band at 18 years old.
Tom Weston (Drums) - Does a uncanny Scooby Doo impression!

GTTF: Your UK tour with William Control starts July 20th, can you give us three words to describe your live shows?

OO: Three words to describe our live show would definitely have to be energetic, big, and above all, fun! If its not fun then its all a bit pointless really!

GTTF: ‘Take Take’ is your debut single, can you tell us a bit about the song?

OO: It most certainly is. Take Take is probably one of the oldest songs we have, it always went down really well with crowds when we played it live. We just thought, its catchy, you can dance to it, and you can sing along, even if its your first time hearing it! And we’ve had great feedback from the single, the video is the 3rd most requested video on Lava TV, only behind You Me At Six and Paramore, so yea, its gone down really well!

GTTF: Dan Sprigg produced ‘Take Take’, he has been dubbed as “The genius behind The Lostprophets, Funeral for a Friend”. How did it come about working with Dan, or should we say ‘The Genius’?

OO: It was kind of a friend of a friend thing really, and he put us in touch, Dan had a listen to the demo version of the single and luckily, he really liked it! So we headed into the studio with him and came out with our debut single!

GTTF: A lot of artists when they are up and coming in the music industry get
compared to another artist, has anyone made that comparison yet?

OO: Yea all the time really, we get a lot of You Me At Six, Kids In Glass House and Jimmy Eat World. Which is fine by us because we love all those bands. An interesting one came up in a review once which said we were ‘the missing link between Nickleback & Mcfly’

GTTF: You guys have covered many songs, are there any songs that you would love to cover but feel its one of those songs that can’t be covered?

OO: Good questions! I think its always dangerous covering any Led Zeppelin song, Stairway To Heaven in particular! or Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. But we’ve covered everything from Fall Out Boy to Jay Sean, so we’re not really scared of much!

GTTF: What bands are you guys currently listening to at the moment?

OO: The new Kids In Glass Houses album is awesome, as is the new one from 30 Seconds To Mars, and of course, in Paul’s case… Justin Bieber!

GTTF: Finally, apart form the tour in July, what else have you got in store for the rest of this year?

OO: We’re gonna be pretty busy for the rest of this year, which is always good! Were off to Wales in August to record our next single at Longwave Studios, then that will hopefully be released in October, and then we’ve just sorted out a big UK tour which will take up most of October (We’re not allowed to say who with yet i’m afraid!) so the single release and UK tour with both come together, which will hopefully make a big impression! Then we’ve just got some support slots here and there for the rest of the year, especially looking forward to a slot with Electric Six in December, we are hoping their genitals flash in real life too….
