Oolong

Oolong is a genre-bending indie rock band that emerged from Long Island, New York in 2019, quickly making a name for themselves in the DIY emo and math rock scenes. Drawing influence from acts such as American Football, Glocca Morra, and Algernon Cadwallader, Oolong crafts songs characterized by intricate guitar work, driving rhythms, and deeply personal, sometimes cathartic lyricism. The band's core lineup—comprising vocalists and guitarists Dakota and Max, bassist David, drummer Sam, and lead guitarist Jordan—channels both the anxiety and exuberance of youth into their energetic live performances.

Their debut album, “About Your Imaginary Friend,” released in 2021, resonated with listeners for its raw emotional honesty and skillful musicianship, solidifying Oolong's place as one of emo revival’s most promising new voices. Whether playing packed basements or connecting with fans online, Oolong continues to push boundaries and foster a sense of community within the indie and emo scene.
