Add Your NameBands such as Amyl & The Sniffers, Lime Cordiale, and a whole heap more have been leading the charge from down under. Now, young guns Royel Otis are coming in HOT and with an already growing back catalogue of dreamy mellow guitar music. Recently, the band blew up on TikTok with their cover of Sophie Ellis-Bextar’s ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’, a moment that even took the band by surprise.
Now, we chat with the rising stars ahead of their debut Boardmasters performance this summer. The band talk through their creative process, new music, fan favourites and more…
RM: The tour so far has been a huge learning experience trying to deal with the huge adrenaline buzzes and then silent hotels. Wouldn’t change it for the world!
RM: Honestly had the lowest expectations after doing the cover of ‘Murder On The Dance Floor.’ We were exhausted but maybe that made it work?!
RM: We’ve always been fans of the track and of other Sophie Ellis Bexter tracks but had never played it before doing that session.
RM: The creative process behind ‘Pratts & Pain’ was a lot more open and involved far more live jams compared to previous recordings. We try to make sure we have plenty of fun recording. So far, that’s exactly what we have done *knock on wood.*
OP: Definitely, a good mix.
OP: Cornwall looks very beautiful and we’ve just read it’s the most southern place in England. Also keen to try a Cornish pasty!
OP: We like to play games normally involving throwing a lid into a cup from a few metres back.
OP: Essential socks and jocks!
