Straightahead, catchy guitar pop, and youtube video stars, are just a few words to describe OK Go. After releasing their self-titled debut album in 2002, the band shot to stardom with a cleverly appealing single "Get Over It". In August 2005, their follow-up album "Oh No" was released and grew in popularity thanks to an unconventional video for the single "A Million Ways" where the band performs a choreographed dance number in lead singer's Damian Kulash backyard. The video was made for under $10 and spread instantly on the internet. Following that success, the band decided on another unconventional video for the song "Here It Goes Again" where they performed a carefully choreographed routine using treadmills. They reenacted that routine on the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards and became that events highlight performance. Currently OK Go is on tour in the U.S.
