About Me

Oak is Keeping, a band formed out of the pure love of rock music, has finally come full circle after a revolving door of musicians. OiK is the project Shay Isdale and Mastin Kirksey gave birth to after a brief hiatus from music. Both Isdale and Kirksey wanted to build the band around the thing they do best....dark, heavy, exciting rock music. And with the help of bassist Dane Ingham and guitarist Zac Bogart, that is what Oak is Keeping is doing!. OiK are currently writing material to record with Jason Sewell of Nebulost Studios and look to release an album around mid-2008.

Influences: Good music in general
Sounds Like: Huge, dark guitars, pounding drums and powerful bass lines all with a touch of classic rock, and a hint of blues. Soaring harmonies with brash lyrical content about every thing from murder to love. Songs can range from hard rock, like “What We Live,” powered by a thumping drum beat and heavy guitars, to power-pop rock such as “So Sweet,” driven by keys and harmonies.
Record Label: one day...
Type of Label: None
