Oil Boom

**Oil Boom** is a Dallas-based rock outfit that’s been cranking out gritty, riff-driven tunes since their formation in the late 2000s. Known for blending garage rock swagger with punk energy and a dash of bluesy grit, the band—fronted by vocalist/guitarist Steve Steward—has carved a niche as a staple of the Texas underground scene. Their sound, often described as "loud, loose, and unapologetically raw," thrives on live shows, where their chaotic charm and sweat-soaked performances win over crowds.

With releases like *Terribility*, *Red Metal*, and *Black Waxy*, Oil Boom delivers punchy, no-frills rock anthems that feel like a dive-bar jukebox come to life. Tracks from albums such as *Gold Yeller* and *45 Revolutions Per Minute* showcase their knack for hooky melodies wrapped in distortion, while their relentless touring (including slots with acts like …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead) has cemented their rep as road warriors. If you dig unvarnished rock ’n’ roll with a side of Southern twang, Oil Boom’s your fix.
