We first bumped into these guys earlier this summer, down at Vantastival. Ever since, we’ve been keeping a close eye on Travis Oaks.

From gigging all over the country, winning a video competition to support The Hot Sprockets, releasing their first video single (see here), playing festivals and now releasing their debut EP. It’s safe to say it’s been a whirlwind of a year.

The band will fully release their debut EP on Friday 14 November. You can also catch them at their in-store at Tower Records on Thursday 13 November, where you can grab an exclusive copy and see the band live.

But before that, exclusively listen to the EP below.

We recently sat down to review the album and we said: “…with the bluesy licks, the thumping rhythm section and lush harmonies. At times it’s remnant of a cooled down track by The Minutes or a slightly more up-tempo song from The White Stripes earlier catalogue. It’s an enticing song that features a plethora of catchy hooks and cries out to be played in a live setting.”

You can catch the guys at any of their upcoming live shows:

  • November 8th – The High Cross, Drogheda – LOUTH
  • November 9th – Saucy Sundays 4th Anniversary Party, Grand Social Dublin
  • November 13th – Tower Live Showcase, Dublin
