Featured Tune: "Replay" from Poison Oak

reviews

“Running in Circles Never Sounded So Good”

Poison Oak’s latest single Replay is a pulsing indie-rock anthem that captures the messy beauty of going nowhere fast—and somehow loving it. Built on a foundation of shimmering guitars and restless drums, the track moves with the urgency of someone trying to outrun a memory, yet keeps circling back to the same emotional center.

From the first note, there’s a sense of momentum—like a late-night drive with the windows down and something unspoken sitting heavy in the backseat. The vocals are earnest, delivered with a kind of emotional rasp that’s more confession than performance. There’s no over-polish here, and that’s the point. It’s heartfelt, it’s human, and it hits.

What makes Replay really click is how it balances indie nostalgia with punk bite. The guitars sparkle, then snarl. The lyrics speak of repetition, of emotional déjà vu, but the song itself feels alive—constantly shifting, refusing to settle. You don’t just hear this song; you feel it building in your chest.

Poison Oak is clearly in their element—tight, confident, and not afraid to let a little chaos bleed through the mix. Replay is more than a song about being stuck in a loop. It’s proof that even in repetition, there’s power. There’s passion. And there's a purpose.

This one’s got replay value, no doubt.
