About this act
Poison Oak are an indie rock and punk band out of Townsville, made up of James Balthes, Ray Pearson, Chris Reiterer and Adrian Tarca. The band started from jam sessions after runs up Castle Hill, and those early recordings caught the attention of Sydney label The A&R Department. Since 2019 they've released three EPs and their debut album, These Suburban Dreams, and picked up coverage in Vents, Happy Mag, Scenestr, Hysteria and Amnplify. North Queensland heat, played loud.
