"Music Scene"

With influences ranging from '80s new wave/prog-rock act The Church to local psycho-punkabilly surf stalwart Billy Joe Winghead, Maindrayn is likely the most emotionally unhinged and musically eccentric original act in the area. Seriously, that's a compliment. - Tulsa World - Jennifer Chancellor

Bio

when you grow up in oklahoma it's easy to feel like it's a vacuous wasteland devoid of any real culture or creativity. in the last decade poverty and drug problems have turned the buckle of the bible belt into america's ashtray. we bring with us the stories of the people who survive, and love, and carry on, in spite of it all.

our art gives us the opportunity to articulate what it's like here in oklahoma. we take the storytelling sensibilities of old country and western songs, and combine them with the loud-soft dynamics of early 90's alternative to set the scene and descibe our "little piece of hell" in a gritty and real way. that's where the hip-hop influences come in. we hate the poor, underfunded place we're from, but love the people and the culture and their ability to survive. it's our job to tell the world about the place we live. we've been doing it since we were old enough to ditch class together and it only stands to get louder and deeper.

what sets us apart? shit! have you listened to it? if diversity is something you look for in a band, we got that in spades. we're more like an iPod on shuffle than a band. if there's one thing we do best, it's finding unique ways to express ourselves. just listen to it, you'll see.
