OK Zombie was conceived by Louisville, KY native singer/songwriter, Nick Peay. A fan of zombie movies, he started recording instrumental songs inspired by said movie genre as one of many side projects. After positive feedback from listeners, Peay decided to flesh out (no pun intended) newer songs with lyrics. Hints of progressive influences such as Beck, Radiohead, and Damon Albarn are subtly layered throughout this rock/electronica/funk/indie band. OK Zombie gives you much more than you expect to hear from a local singer/songwriter.

With a narrative that portrays the broadness of the topic rather than bogging down in specification and an organically produced rock sound that meets somewhere between the early reflections of Neil Young and Bob Dylan with the alternative 90's pop-leaning sound of Collective Soul and Fuel, Nick Peay and his band offer an impressive and impassioned musical story to take in.

..an authentic acoustic/rock sound in the spirit of bands or artists like Toad The Wet Sprocket, The Fray, Nick Drake, The Head And The Heart, Gin Blossoms…that kind of melodic-rock that sounds inviting and pulls you in easily through smooth-flowing verses and bright-choruses...

The frenetic energy that is exhibited here takes up hints of Soul Asylum and Counting Crows, but these five efforts possess a greater thematic cohesion than any album we’ve heard this year.

It’s rare to hear originality and honesty combined together these day in the business. That’s why I was pleasantly surprised to find both qualities resounding through the music of Louisville’s Nick Peay.
