OK Go

Chicago-based eccentrics OK Go are best known for their mad music videos, especially for the highly-viewed Here It Goes Again. OK Go formed in 1998 and released their first 2 EPs (both self titled, with 2000's referred as The Brown EP and 2001's as the Pink EP. The band got their initial media coverage with the release of the Get Over It single in sumer 2002, with their self-titled album coming out in September 2002. Don't Ask Me was released as a post-album single in June 2003. For their second album, the Do What You Want EP was released in June 2005, with the first successful single A Million Ways following in August, followed by the album, Oh No, on 30th August. Post album singles Do What You Want in April 2006, Oh Lately It's Been So Quiet in May and Invincible in June didn't meet the success of the fifth single from the album, September's Here It Goes Again, which charted in the Top 40 in the UK and the US, mainly due to its treadmill-themed video. Original guitarist Andy Duncan left after the recording of the album and was replaced by Andy Ross. The band went quiet for over three years before November 2009 saw the release of WTF? from their third album Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky, which was released in January 2010. A Million Ways' video is below, with the downloads.
