NOT OKAY
We are NJ’s Emo, Nu-Metal & Dad Rock cover band!
04/23/2026
Mark your calendars—this is not just a show, it’s a full-blown takeover.
FR3AK and NOT OKAY are unleashing the ultimate emo and nu-metal experience at the Williams Center in Rutherford, NJ. Only 100 tickets exist… and once they’re gone, they’re gone. No second chances.
Secure your spot before it disappears.
This isn’t just a night out—this is chaos, catharsis, and pure energy.
Let’s tear it all down.

The NOT OKAY family just got a little bigger 🖤
On March 20th, Ralph and his wife Brianne welcomed their second daughter, Cora, into the world.

⚠️ TOMORROW NIGHT ⚠️
NOT OKAY takes the stage at Paradise Island tomorrow at 9PM for a full night of emo, nu-metal, and dad rock. Expect the loud sing-alongs, the heavy riffs, and all the feelings.
Come scream your favorite songs with us, grab a drink, and make it a night.
Paradise Island — Staten Island
9PM | Live Emo Night
Bring your friends. Bring your voice. Let’s make it loud. 🖤🎸
One week out, Paradise Island… and the feelings are coming back.
NOT OKAY returns to Paradise Island for 3 full sets of the best emo, nu-metal, and dad rock anthems you forgot you loved (but never really got over). We’re talking scream-it-back choruses, drop-tuned riffs, and just enough nostalgia to make you text your ex.
Dust off the black eyeliner. Stretch those vocal cords.
We’ll see you in the pit. 🖤🔥

NOT OKAY is crashing back into Paradise Island on March 7 for a Live Emo Night and we’re turning Staten Island all the way up.
We’re serving THREE full sets of the best emo, nu-metal, and dad rock anthems for our friends, our family, and anyone ready to scream their feelings into the void with us. Expect the sing-alongs. Expect the breakdowns. Expect the nostalgia to hit hard.
Our brother Guillermo won’t be with us that night, but don’t panic — we’ve recruited the insanely talented (and all-around awesome human) Justin to hold down the low end. He’ll be slapping the strings, shaking the floor, and if the emo gods give him strength… maybe even throwing down some sweet vocals.
Doors open early. Show kicks off at 9:00PM.
Come grab dinner. Grab a drink. Grab your crew.
Strap on the Chuck Taylor’s. Smear on the eyeliner. Cinch up the studded belt.
Let’s dance. Let’s sing. Let’s mosh.
Let’s scream something that just might bring a tear to your eye. 🖤

💜💛💚 HAPPY MARDI GRAS FROM NOT OKAY 💚💛💜
Happy Fat Tuesday from your favorite Jersey emo, nu-metal & dad rock degenerates — NOT OKAY.
Tonight we’re trading eyeliner for beads (just kidding, we’re keeping the eyeliner). Have a Hurricane or two, eat a mountain of beignets, and absolutely destroy a picnic table full of crawfish like it owes you money.
Let the good times roll… but make it loud, angsty, and slightly unhinged.
Laissez les bon temps rock. 🎭🔥
