Oakfarm sound like a forgotten 1970s record discovered in a dusty wooden cabin – raw, warm, mysterious and bursting with energy. Rooted in heavy blues and psychedelic rock, the Kiel-based power trio combine powerful riffs, melodic depth and expansive jams with an unmistakably organic sound.
When Tobias Lemberger on guitar and vocals, Dennis Oelze on drums and Arne Döpper on bass lock into a groove, the band create music that is heavy yet dynamic. Driving rhythms and expressive guitar work meet dreamlike passages, sudden shifts in intensity and emotionally charged vocals. Their songs are shaped by the chemistry between three musicians who listen, react and leave space for spontaneity.
Since 2022, Oakfarm have been touring across Germany, steadily building a reputation as an intense and captivating live band. Through three tours and numerous club and festival appearances, the trio have developed a performance style that thrives on the moment. Extended jams, dynamic contrasts and the direct connection with the audience make every show feel immediate and alive.
Their self-titled debut album, released in 2024 via Pink Tank Records, introduced the band’s blend of heavy blues, warm vintage tones and psychedelic atmosphere. Rather than simply looking back, Oakfarm use these influences as the foundation for a sound that feels personal, direct and constantly evolving.
In 2026, the band are opening their next chapter. Following a summer of festival appearances, Oakfarm will release their second album, »Too Hard For Some, To Soft For Others«, in autumn, accompanied by an extensive tour.
The new record clearly moves beyond familiar ground. Darker, more melodic and more daring, it combines powerful riffs with dreamlike textures, psychedelic depth and moments of vulnerability. The songs explore contrasts between heaviness and space, tension and release, melancholy and hope.
Despite this development, Oakfarm remain raw, direct and full of live energy. Their music is driven by instinct, atmosphere and the sound of three musicians playing together in one room – heavy, emotional and always alive.
