Sydney-Siders OAKS are today announcing the imminent release of their brand new single ‘Chokehold’ – and the resulting release show in their home town at the Chippo Hotel on Saturday October 19! The single will see light of day this Friday, September 20 in all online stores and streaming platforms! Tickets are also on sale now for the release show at oztix.com.au – Saturday October 19 at The Chippo Hotel with Bearclaw Camp, Headstrong, Capitol Affair and Roman Tragedy!

“Chokehold” represents a coming of age for the band, representing a maturing of the juvenile sensibilities that defined their earlier releases, while maintaining the youthful spirit that has seen the band celebrated by their fans and peers. Chokehold was written by Oaks and Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic, Yours Truly, Between You & Me) and Recorded, Produced and Engineered by Stevie Knight at Electric Sun Studios, Mixed by Dave Petrovic at Electric Sun Studios and Mastered by Mike Kalajian at Rogue Planet Mastering.

Lyrically, guitarist Chris Concepcion explains that “Chokehold is about a toxic relationship that you’re unable to escape- this song was specifically written about a relationship that was but wasn’t- for me it was a very true feeling and reality. Even though I knew this wasn’t healthy for me, I also treasured a lot of factors about the relationship that made me cling onto it.”

Oaks’ new single ‘Chokehold’ sees its release this Friday September 20 on all digital stores and streaming platforms and Tickets for their Sydney single release show are on sale now at Oztix.
