”Mad Dog”, the debut single from Black Oak County, manages to sum up everything that the young Danish hard rockers are all about, in a mere 249 seconds. With plenty of power, aggression, a wall of distorted guitars, and a chorus that’ll stay in your head for days, “Mad Dog” is the perfect example of what’s to be expected of Black Oak County’s upcoming album.
“They could be the next big thing”
– Flick Of The Finger Magazine
In spite of the band only having been around since 2012, Black Oak County have already managed to make their mark on the local music-scene of their hometown of Esbjerg, on the west coast of Denmark. With their energetic live performances, the band landed a supporting spot with the national Danish rock-legends of D-A-D (Disneyland After Dark), got their first endorsement with the world renown pedal manufacturers T-Rex Effects – and in the Spring of 2016, Black Oak County signed a record deal with Target Records/Mighty Music. With the label backing the band, Black Oak County are ready to take the nation, and the world, by storm!
“Mad Dog” premiered exclusively on the radio station myROCK August 8th, and is presented by Metalized (DK) and Sweden Rock Magazine (S). It comes with a highly energetic video:
