Indie-rock enthusiasts, listen up! The Townsville-based band, Poison Oak, is back and better than ever with their upcoming album launch on July 2023. The band, consisting of long-time friends and band members, Ray Pearson, James Balthes, Chris Reiterer, and Adrian Tarca, has been making waves in the music scene with their previous three EPs, and now, they’re taking it to the next level with their latest single, “Found Myself.”
With a sound reminiscent of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Poison Oak’s latest single is a nostalgic throwback to the days of The Cure, Blink 182, and R.E.M. “Found Myself” tells a story that touches on themes of self-satisfaction, adulthood, and the simple things in life. The band’s guitarist, James Balthes, shares that the song came together in just a matter of minutes, “Ray had this chord progression, that he was messing around with, then I came up with the main riff. Then we had the lyrics and melody literally five minutes later.”
Produced by Mike Myers, “Found Myself” is a catchy, reflective, and vibrant track that is sure to get you dancing. With lively drum beats and dreamy harmonies, the song will have you picturing Poison Oak playing on a stage directly in front of you. It’s the perfect addition for your summer road trip playlist or for your next BBQ with friends. So mark your calendars for July 2023 and get ready to rock out with Poison Oak’s upcoming album.
