The band release the single, Do What You Want, through Angel Music on 3rd April 2006. The second single to be taken from the band's sophomore album, Oh No, a raw, manic set produced by Tore Johansson, which will be released on February 27th. The Album 'Oh No' was recorded in Malmö, Sweden with producer Tore Johansson (Franz Ferdinand, the Cardigans).  Dave Sardy, whose production credits include work with Oasis, Nine Inch Nails, and Jet, also joined the band in the studio.  The result is an album that is leaner and grittier than their acclaimed, self-titled debut, but no less exuberant or ambitious. 

OK Go formed in Chicago in 1998, but its roots run deeper—principal songwriters Damian Kulash and Tim Nordwind formed their first band together at age 13.  The band's feverish live shows helped build them a large local fan base, and to opening slots with the likes of Elliott Smith. Their joyous power pop formula soon found its way to Capitol Records in the US via a brace of independently released singles, and by late 2002 they had recorded and released their debut album, with lead single "Get Over It" to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, including slots at Reading, Leeds, and T in the Park and a performance on Top of The Pops.  They have since played alongside everyone from the Kaiser Chiefs to Spoon to The Vines via We Are Scientists, Coldplay and Violent Femmes.
