William Warren Oakes[1] (born January 23, 1981)[2] is an American drummer best known for his eight years spent as the drummer for the punk rock band Against Me!.[3]
On June 8, 2009, Oakes announced that he was leaving the band to pursue a career as a restaurateur.[4] He is now a part owner of Boca Fiesta,[5] a restaurant located in Gainesville, Florida that focuses on the fusion of southern and Mexican cuisine, as well as a venue space, The Backyard,[6] that houses music shows, dance nights, and many more events.
Oakes is also well known for popularizing the freeganism movement, with the publication of his zine, Why Freegan?[7]
Oakes formed the band Sunshine State along with Troy Perlman, Mike Magarelli and Kyle Flick in 2013.[8] With the release of their first album Pour in 2014, Oakes gave an interview with Punk News where he spoke about the changes to a new career, new band, and their upcoming performances.[9]
On March 5, 2022 SPIN magazine wrote an article to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Against Me! album Reinventing Axl Rose saying: "It’s the transformative folk-punk album’s 20th birthday."[10]
Oakes responded to the magazine's publication by saying: "Had a nice little trip down memory lane doing an interview for, and reading, this incredibly in-depth oral history of a very fun time in my life. Happy 20th Axl, I’ll buy you your very first pint of Guinness for your 21st next year!"
