Oakey formed around vocalist and songwriter Jaxon Oakey, guitarist Jake McCarthy, bassist Ethan Chambers, and drummer Tom Carter. They released their debut album 'Crashing Funerals' in 2017, which included the title track that became one of their better-known songs.
Their music often dealt with personal struggles and societal themes, which sometimes drew attention for its directness. The band followed up with albums like 'The Death of Hope' in 2019 and 'Echoes of the Abyss' in 2021, showing a progression in their sound and writing.
Other tracks like 'Dream Girl (feat. Days To Waste)' and 'The Art Of Sleeping Forever' rounded out their catalog, maintaining a focus on emotional expression through rock arrangements and melodic hooks.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
