OAKMAN

Oakman is the first band who I went on tour with. Such a memorable souvenirs of driving across the United Kingdom with them. We collaborated together for several tours (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020). They are now taking a huge step with Rude Records. The band arrived on the Lyon rock scene in 2016 with the release of their self produced EP, Waterscape. Following the release of their first EP, the band began to tour across not only France, but England, Italy, Japan, the US and more. They opened for bands like Enter Shikari (Bataclan, Paris), ZZ TOP (Pérouges Fest), Basement (Kao, Lyon) and Bukowski (Marché Gare, Lyon). They later released their second EP, Plastic World, in October 2018, which was mixed by Sam Pura (State Champs, Story So Far) in Fremont, CA. Every time they play, the effect is immediate. They will touch you emotionally with songs like “Plastic World” or “Spread,” but keep a touch of fun and joy with songs like “Clear Enough.” With Marine’s incredible voice at the forefront, the band builds up a contrast between aggression and solace with each track.
