Poison Oak strikes a chord with new single "Replay"

Poison Oak is back, and they're bringing the heart, the hooks, and a lot of heat. The indie/punk rock ensemble from Townsville unleashes its new single, "Replay. "If it's a taste of what to expect from their impending album, they're certainly in for quite the journey.

"Replay" is a tight, melodically blistering feeling that stakes a comfortable middle ground between jangly optimism and the grungy realism of the wild, fuzzed-out guitar. From the get-go, Poison Oak sets the stage with glistening guitar textures and an impossible-to-forget chorus, the type where it just garnishes a permanent home in your head and refuses to leave. It's hip, snappy, and sharp enough to tickle the independent dreamer in all of us.

The band's relentless energy, which has practically become its calling card, pulsates through every bar of "Replay." The drums are urgent but masterfully controlled, the riffs soar, and it hammers you with a final twist, a triumphant, screaming crescendo that screams to be shouted back at them from a field of festival faces.

Poison Oak has made it clear they belong among some of Australia's most thrilling live performances. "Replay" is more than evidence. It's a song that expresses the push and pull of emotion, the longing to recapture a moment, and that heady bolt of resolution to march on.
