‘m ok was formed by bassist Bill Higgins by hand selecting friends that inspired him throughout his musical career. The passionate, energetic lead vocalist Scott Eberhardt and guitarist David Marr deliver most of the lyrical content. Lead guitarist, Jon Martin also contributing many of the song arrangements as well as managing all the recording and mastering of the first CD. Newest member, drummer Brandon Critchlow completes the current lineup and has infused a new energy into the band. Song writing is truly a band effort, chords, riffs and ideas are distilled by the band as a whole and the refined songs are born. There’s a diverse interest of music among the band members, each bringing different flavors from past favorites. Smiths, REM, Black Sabbath, Meat Puppets, Replacements and a few hundred others are the inspiration. Somehow it all comes back out into this thing called ‘m ok. You’ll hear pop punk, alternative, metal, garage rock. Guitars, drums and keen melody. The first CD self-titled ‘M OK was released at the end of 2015. This CD featured Todd Coffin on drums; the remainder of the lineup stayed the same. Todd was an original band member and instrumental in forming the ‘m ok sound. Unfortunately, due to injury he was forced to retire early at the end of 2016. ‘m ok is currently working on the second CD and pushing for a release toward the end of 2017. The band has played numerous shows the past couple years in both Portland and Portsmouth areas to great response. The live show is absolutely their device.
