From Nottingham’s electric underground to the mainstage fast lane, ALT BLK ERA are overtaking everyone. The Beckett-Messam sisters, Nyrobi (21) and Chaya (18), just dropped their latest single ‘Okay (Cyber Racing)’ right in the middle of a tour with Pendulum and hot on the heels of a MOBO win for Best Alternative Act. Because apparently, sleep is for people who don’t run their own revolution.
‘Okay (Cyber Racing)’ is the sound of two siblings hurtling through hyperspace on caffeine, conviction and sheer creative force. A hypercharged mix of glitching electronics, dirty bass and precision-cut guitar, it’s equal parts industrial jungle and alt-pop sugar rush. The sisters’ dual vocals — yin and yang, venom and velvet — punch through the chaos like sparks off live wire.
If debut album Rave Immortal was the ignition, this track is the turbo boost — slicker, sharper, and even more unapologetically their own. There’s a new confidence here: ALT BLK ERA are erasing genres. They dance between metal riffs and EDM drops with the kind of ease that makes industry execs twitch.
But what makes them truly special is the purpose beneath the power. Alongside their sonic world-building, the sisters are loud advocates for inclusivity and hidden disability awareness. Nyrobi’s work with BBC Introducing to make backstage spaces more accessible shows that this band’s defiance isn’t just aesthetic — it’s structural.
With festival slots, TV appearances, and an ever-growing global following, ALT BLK ERA have proved they’re not the future of alternative music — they’re its present, its pulse, and possibly its next evolution.
