WiseOaks began their existence in Late August 2012 as a one off acoustic project to fulfil the requirements of a University Audio Recording assignment for current Oaks drummer; Kris Hailes (of Room at the Reservoir). Vocalist, Liam Oliver and Guitarist Matt Tanner (of Tired Lion) quickly realised there was potential here for something more and thus WiseOaks was formed. Mikey Anstee-Brook (Infamous Ya Ya’s Bartender) jumped on board in late May 2013 as resident Bassist, providing the delicious bass lines the band had been so desperately searching for. As time has progressed WiseOaks have deviated from their once strict Acoustic Folk genre and entered into the realm of what could only be acknowledged as a unique blend of Intimate acoustic folk, catchy indie melodies bound together by an underlying ambient rock backbone.
