Soaked Oats is an indie rock band hailing from Dunedin, New Zealand, that has begun to make significant waves with their quirky blend of surf-punk and slacker rock. Composed of band members Oscar Mein (vocals/guitar), Henry Francis (guitar), Max Holmes (bass), and Conor Feehly (drums), the group's music is characterized by its laid-back vibe and introspective, often humorous lyrics. Since forming in 2017, Soaked Oats has rapidly gained a loyal following, both domestically and internationally, through a combination of engaging live performances and a distinctive sound that captures the whimsical spirit of their home country's rich musical legacy.

Releasing their debut EP, "Stone Fruit Melodies," in 2017, Soaked Oats set the groundwork for their playful and lighthearted approach to music, much to the delight of indie enthusiasts. Following up with a steady stream of releases such as "Sludge Pop" and "Driftworld", the band skillfully balances the raw energy of garage rock with the sun-soaked tones of psychedelia and pop. Tracks like "Shuggah Doom" and "Coming Up" showcase the group's ability to craft catchy melodies, while their 2020 release, "Dance Yrself Clean" – a cover of the LCD Soundsystem classic – pays homage to their influences while highlighting their ability to make a song their own. Soaked Oats continues to expand their sound, keeping fans engaged with their evolving artistry and solidifying their spot in the indie music scene.
