Oak's Mary

The band was born in 2001 by the divine Will of the Holy Mary Herself; infact our name derives from the revelation of Holy Mary occurred in the end of forthteen century by an oak tree located on a hill near Bettola (a very tiny village in the country of Piacenza). Hence the names Oak and Mary.
The first line up included three guitars (one of those was a lap steel); after the first selfproduced 4 tracks Ep Nihil, we decided to keep only 2 guitars.
This Ep earned a very good review from stonerrock.com (you can check the review on the website archive) and many music magazines.
In 2002 our first full-lenght album Tamarindo (11 tracks) descended onto the Earth and the Word was spread by a small independent label called Desertfox Records.



Many gigs have passed in these years 2003-2004-2005-2006…We played with bands like: Brant Bjork & the Bros, Eagles of Death Metal, Gorilla, Dozer and many more.
Our new album is called “Car Wash”, was ready in the half 2006.
The promo cd of Car Wash was top demo of the month (august-2005) on Metal Hammer magazine (Italian issue).The promo included four Car Wash tracks not mixed : Love inside, Spanish Girl, Rock me and America.
We also have produced the video of the first song of the record “Top of the World”.
You can find a copy of the dvd enclosed in this envelope.
Growing out with any tunes from the 70's, we love bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Stooges, Deep Purple, Hendrix, Kraftwerk, but also we appreciate bands like Loop, the Heads, Earthlings?, Qotsa, Man or Astroman and many many more ,we are trying to put our felling into the music we play.
Our music is simply our vision of everything, sometimes it’s nervous and aggressive and sometimes very quite, romantic and visionary .
We really love jammin and composing music in our rehearsal room based in a old flour mill cabin and also we love playing extreme live concerts…
