Press

“I don’t think the circle pit of skanking kids stopped for longer than a minute or two during the A-Oks set. They tore by in an endless cyclonic blur, pins and patches, liberty spikes and elbows, comet punks flying out of orbit and crashing into the crowd. They skanked faster than I could skank, skanked hard enough to void the factory warranty on your Doctor Martens. And this went on for an hour. ”

— Dave Rine, webelongdownhere

“By the time I reached the end of the melodically driven, unapologetic final songs of “I’m Sorry You Suck” and “Pain Pills and Mayhem Medicine”, I completely understand why the newest generation of ska kids are clamoring for The A-Oks. While Fun-employment Benefits is heavily rooted in 3rd wave, it’s a refreshing take on the genre and lend an urgency and rebelliousness to a scene soaked in safe customs.”

— Ross Hostage, For the Love of Punk

“When all was said and done, The A-OKs put on a great release show for their second full-length, self-released disc, Funemployment Benefits. The A-OKs have a surefire recipe for eliciting that celebratory mood. They play fast and with more intense-every member turning their mind and body over to a group ska-telligence that then takes over the room. ”

— tim breckon, Listen Up Denver... The A-Oks - 21st Moes BBQ

“Energy. That is one word that comes immediately to mind when thinking of Denver’s favorite ska/punk/party-time band The A-OKs. Their second album, Funemployment Benefits, carries on their tradition of frenetic energy and hazardous partying with ten tracks of irresistible skankability.”

— Tim Wenger, Colorado Music Buzz... The A-Oks Funemployment Benefits

“The A-OKs came out in full force. They didn’t let up on their instruments one second through the entire set. The stage continually projected loud horns, pounding drums, wailing guitars, and hilariously dark and ridiculous lyrics.”

— SPIKE, The Scoop 303 The A-Oks CD release 1-21-12

“The A-ok’s are a party personified. Pure and simple, cut and dry. They are ska, they are punk and they have a great time on stage. For a band of seven people there is always a lot of activity on the stage and it never stops. ”

— Paul Edmisson, Interstate Live
