Episode 306: The Oklahoma Kid

Rob from the German modern metal band The Oklahoma Kid is here today. The band has been waiting to get back on stage since 2020, so we discuss their summer festival lineup, their headlining tour happening in October after being postponed for 2 years, and how their diverse sound will create a fantastic live experience. We also dive deep into the process of writing the new album Tangerine Tragic, figure out how many songs a band should play off their new record, geek out on the song Waldsterben (the forest dying song), and why working with a non-metal produced was the right move for this album. Looking for good new music? This is where you should go.
