"Eccentric new romantic-tinged insanity from Denmark. Like Buggles covering Spandau Ballet songs, but played by chaps with Strokes haircuts and in line to be our new favourite band" - James Jam
“So when the Scissor Sisters were at art college, one of their projects was to make a funky soundtrack to their claymation cartoon ghost story series – it was kind of Morph meets Scooby Doo – and this was the cheeky, cheerful plodding disco fruits of their labour. Of course this didn’t happen but you get the point. On a white man afro tip, meanwhile, this lot make The Fratellis look like Right Said Fred.” - -
"...are so infectious they're illegal in most countries. Except Denmark, clearly." - new band of the day
"Five gifted young blades from Denmark are the force behind this sublimely infectious marriage of electro-pop and hallucinogenic disco. A summer gem." - single review
"...all big hair and Kings of Leon style...the music inside is altogether more eccentrically Scandinavian. This single sounds to me like the Banana Splits playing the Star Wars cantina. Which can only be a good thing. " - Blog

Bio
Oh No Ono’s sound collages a broad range of influences into a lurid pop confection “I cannot hear anything without being inspired. Should I be listening to for instance Beach Boys, I will readily steal the exact element which makes their music unique,” explains Malthe. “An important aspect of Oh No Ono is the ability for us to surprise the audience and keep giving them something new.” The music fuses the preening glam of Ziggie era Bowie to the clunking 80s stomp of electro pop pioneer Thomas Dolby, underpinned by flashes of taught guitar.
In short, Oh No Ono are here to make you get out of your seat and jump around – and on the evidence of this first single we better get used to it because they’re heading straight for the main stage!
