He attended Stocksbridge High School and was a year below Alex Turner and Matt Helders of the Arctic Monkeys. While at school he began making compilation CD's and short tracks under the name of Quakebeat.

Incident in Nottingham

While on tour with BMTH in the United Kingdom allegations were made against Oli that he urinated upon and then assaulted a female fan after a gig at Nottingham Rock City when she allegedly refused his sexual advances. Sykes was subsequently charged with urinating on the fan, but not with physical assault.Online Music Zine Drowned In Sound claimed that Bring Me The Horizon were banned from Nottingham Rock City. However the band's label Visible Noise denied these rumors and the band subsequently played Nottingham Rock City on December 1, 2007.

On April 13, 2007, Sykes appeared in Nottingham Magistrates Court on a charge of common assault relating to the alleged urination incident, to which he pleaded not guilty. The case was adjourned until early May.On 3 May 2007 Sykes attended Nottingham Magistrates court for the second time and confirmed his not guilty plea. The case was adjourned again until 17 September 2007. However, due to lack of evidence, all charges against Sykes were dropped.

One of the confirmed tracks from the band's new album, "No Need for Introductions, I've Read About Girls Like You on the Back of Toilet Doors", is Oli's way of expressing his feelings towards the allegations.
