S.13 E.09 – Andreas Reinhard of The Oklahoma Kid

Send us Fan MailNoya. Doicha. Harta. Roughly translated into “New German Hardness.” The perfect description for our current guest. When you combine elements of industrial metal with metallic post-hardcore and alternative – it can be quite the mix when executed to perfection. Enter Berlin-based metalcore outfit The Oklahoma Kid, now fresh off their vicious sophomore effort “Tangerine Tragic,” guitarist Andreas Reinhard joins Sonny on the IUF podcast to talk about the production processes behind one of metalcore's greatest kept secrets. The band may be 8 years into existence, and Andreas may also be the newest member to join in on the fun, but the maturity in the band's sound and chemistry with a growing fanbase serves as the perfect starting point for this talented quintet. Andreas could not have asked for a better situation to be in, and he's here to stay for it all as he has found his groove with TOK. They have toured with the likes of Stick To Your Guns, Carnifex, and Hatebreed – and as their resume grows, so do their humble attitudes. Andreas is ready to take the next step with The Oklahoma Kid, and it's an entrance into the metalcore scene that will have many heads turned in their direction. And lastly, it's not every day you get to interview The Oklahoma Kid while...IN OKLAHOMA. Listen in and you'll get the kick. “Tangerine Tragic” is full of all the heaviness and melody that promises to be a strong effort as one of the top records of the year. A fun conversation in store here, so be sure to buy and stream the new album “Tangerine Tragic,” out now worldwide via Arising Empire.Stay connected with The Oklahoma Kid, visit: https://arising-empire.com/artists/the-oklahoma-kid, https://www.facebook.com/theoklahomakidofficial and https://www.instagram.com/theoklahomakidband/Stay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/
