The Okes have officially released the music video for their latest single, Walked On, marking another milestone for the North Shore indie rock band and the growing creative community surrounding them.
On April 18, 2026, The Okes took the stage at the North Vancouver premiere of Ride to Resilience, contributing to a night that felt far bigger than a typical show.
The Okes have never treated cover songs as background material in a set. For them it is a chance to loosen things up, read the room, and rework songs that already mean something to people into something that feels immediate and live.
The Okes didn’t start with a plan or a name or anything particularly intentional. It started, like a lot of bands do, with a few friends who kept finding their way back to music whenever life gave them a bit of space.
