QUICK BIO

Oak is Keeping is the outcome of mixing heavy, guttural guitars with astral harmonies and brash lyrical content, about 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, Toadies, â¦Trail of Dead and The Sword. Oak is Keeping have been playing around Texas and its surrounding states for over a year while Shay, Mastin, Zac and Adam wrote and recorded songs for their 2009 album, Animal Style! The bandâs debut album is full of double guitar attacks, driving beats, haunting melodies and powerful bass lines.
