Formed in Midland/Odessa, Texas, Oakwood (Mathew Dwyer, Noah Roots, and TJ James) flew entirely under the radar as a local band in the DIY emo and hardcore scenes. A decade later, the band has returned with a roaring resurgence. Collaborating with acclaimed producer Phil Odom (Militarie Gun, Glare, Durry) and Grammy-winning mastermind Will Yip (Title Fight, Turnstile), their long-awaited album Blurred Away is a poignant narrative of survival, self-discovery, and raw catharsis. Melding intricate guitar work, driving rhythms, and unapologetic vulnerability, Oakwood proves that the passage of time has only sharpened their emotional edge.
