What doesn’t kill us takes a long time to make us stronger. It’s a statement that the four individuals from the mid-north coast of New South Wales who comprise ROYAL CHANT bid you consider well, through the ten tracks of their debut album RAISE YOUR GLASS & COLLAPSE.
‘Ghosts’ is the first track from the their debut album RAISE YOUR GLASS & COLLAPSE – Listen to the first track ‘GHOSTS’ here |
The album has been a labour of love for Royal Chant. Like a fine wine, the songs (and sometimes the band) required a lot of beating, stomping-on and being kept in the dark to mature, but the result is an impressive collection of tracks, indicative of the human condition – barbaric, sometimes chaotic, but mostly beautiful. Though framed in intelligent and skillful sounds, the songs are subtle and simple in substance. They are an invitation to be vulnerable; to share love, doubt, anger, loss, resignation, being human, and being less-than human – as complicated or straightforward as you want them to be.

What an amazing gig from this New Zealand band consisting of four brothers. Certain people are blessed with different talents and islander people are blessed with beautiful voices and musical skills. The punters were largely expat Kiwis who were eager to let anyone who would listen know that these guys were it.
There were constant instrument changes amongst the members of the band and various vocal leads. Overall, an amazing gig which should place them on better ground for their next Australian tour.
Artist: KORA
Venue: The Zoo, Brisbane
