In many ways, SOAK manages to defy exact genre standards while at the same time, representing what rock and roll is all about. Whether they are in an intimate local club setting or performing in larger festival or amphitheater settings SOAK displays a stage comfort that allows them to explore their jams and a magnetism that draws the viewers into their tight riffs and grooves.
