Since its formation in 2012, the band has established a foundation in the German metal scene.
After their successful debut album Solarray (2019) and struck by the global pandemic, THE OKLAHOMA KID set their focus on writing new music, with one simple goal in mind — to best themselves and give every fan something to crave for Tangerine Tragic.
The Oklahoma Kid have toured with internationally renowned acts such as Stick to Your Guns, Carnifex, Evergreen Terrace, and Hatebreed. They have electrified crowds with their passionate performances.
The band is no longer an insider tip. They are a force to be reckoned with. Whether live at a festival or on the record player in the living room — THE OKLAHOMA KID will change your perception of what metal is capable of.
