Okay You Win Sign to Blues Funeral Recordings
Wait? A heavy rock and roll band? From London? Please, give me a second to control my dryly sarcastic surprise.
Yes, Okay You Win emerge from one of the most crowded heavy underground scenes the world over — other places go in waves; London is constant and has been for at least the last 15 years — but my thinking here is, especially since the four-piece only have a 2023 live release out, that Blues Funeral Recordings knows something we don’t. And by that I mean they’ve heard the record in question here, and if you’re new to the band like me and haven’t seen them live yet — they’ll be at Desertfest London this year, with more shows reportedly to follow — and are wondering how they got picked up, I’m betting the record is what’s going to be the answer.
No audio yet, but keep an ear out, is my advice. This one came down the PR wire:
London heavy rockers OKAY YOU WIN sign to Blues Funeral Recordings
Blues Funeral Recordings are pleased to welcome London heavy rock quartet OKAY YOU WIN to their roster, with their debut album set for release later this year.
Four-piece heavy rock band Okay You Win came together in London in 2023. Over three years, the band has built a solid reputation on the UK underground heavy rock scene, bringing a double hit of heavy riffs and soaring vocals.
Rooted in influences from Seattle grunge, Californian desert rock, 90s alt-rock and classic British heavy metal, OKYW blends psychedelic stoner rock and doomy breakdowns with driving rock riffs. The band has just recorded its debut full-length album at The Nave in Leeds with producer Andy Hawkins (Psychlona, Grave Lines, The Damned) and mastered by Alain Johannes.
Okay You Win have had a stellar 2025, playing shows across the UK and a short run in Northern Spain, with a Desertfest London appearance confirmed for May 15th, 2026, and further UK and European dates to be announced shortly.
About signing to Blues Funeral Recordings, they state: “Our recent signing with Blues Funeral marks a major step forward for us, and in our journey together as a band. To be releasing our debut album on such a well-respected label, and alongside such an exceptional roster of heavy bands – bands we have literally ‘looked up to’ from the pit – is something we are extremely proud of. We hope that this album, and these songs, will help us to earn our own rightful place in the international heavy community.”
