Album Notes

Oak is Keeping is the outcome of mixing heavy guttural guitars with astral harmonies and brash lyrical content, dealing with everything from love to the human condition. This mixture produces a rock and roll sound that has been compared to the likes of other Texas rock establishments like the Toadies, ...Trail of Dead, and The Sword. Oak is Keeping has been playing around Texas and surrounding states for over a year while writing and recording songs for their 2009 debut album, Animal Style - an album full of huge guitar harmonies, driving beats, haunting melodies and flowing bass lines.
Oak is Keeping has been featured in Austin INsite Magazine, played on Austin rock radio stations, 93.7-FM, 101.5-FM, and have had a busy SXSW 2009 and is generating quite the buzz around the Texas music scene.
The band's debut album, ANIMAL STYLE, was released April 2009, and features songs ranging from head nodding stoner rock, like "No Kiss", powered by a thumping drum beat and heavy guitars; to danceable rock such as "How We Treat Girls," driven by pop melody and harmonies. OiK is going to hit the venues hard over the next year pushing Animal Style and writing songs for album number 2.
