Today for our BottleRock Napa featured artist, we bring to you Royel Otis. This Australian guitar-pop duo from Sydney took us by storm last year when we first heard their track Sofa King. We loved their sound and were instantly hooked, impatiently waiting for them to come to the Bay Area. We were so excited to see that they will be performing at BottleRock Napa 2024! Today, Royel Otis released their debut album Pratts & Pain. About the album, The album is named after our favourite pub in Streatham that we would go to when we were recording with Dan Carey. Dan would ask us to record vocals, and we’d say, ‘Just give us half an hour, we’re popping to Pratts & Payne’, and we’d have a pint, a few shots, and get some lyrics down. One of our favourites from the album is Foam, an ode to all those who need their mouths washed out with soap. It’s ok if you don’t understand some things just don’t look back in anger.

GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter/producer/performer Maggie Rogers is set to release her third studio album, Don’t Forget Me on April 12th via Capital Records. Maggie has been one of our favorite vocalists since the first time we heard her perform at Outside Lands in 2017. She has risen to the top since then and there is no stopping her. Maggie comments on her new album, I wanted to make an album that sounded like a Sunday afternoon,” explains Rogers in the letter below, which tells the story of the making of Don’t Forget Me. “Worn in denim. A drive in your favorite car. No make up, but the right amount of lipstick. Something classic. The mohair throw and bottle of Whiskey in Joan Didion’s motel room. An old corvette. Vintage, but not overly Americana. I wanted to make an album to belt at full volume alone in your car, a trusted friend who could ride shotgun and be there when you needed her.” Today Maggie released the title track along with a video which was filmed in Super 8 in Maine and [Read More]

Knocked Loose have released a new video and single, Suffocate which features Poppy. Grammy nominated pop-meets-metal trailblazer, Poppy, who reached out to frontman and vocalist Bryan Garris to propose a team-up. “I am a huge fan of Knocked Loose and honored to be on this one,” tells Poppy. The new single has them branching out and is absolutely a great track. It carries deep and dark guitar tones and blazing with pinch harmonics and delivers a killer riff throughout the track. Poppy takes it to a whole new level with her metal screams that grab a hold of you, then takes you on a melodic journey through the bridge and leading to the breakdown. It is fierce! Check it out here: The collaboration inspired the band to venture into uncharted realms, which finds Garris and Poppy trading verses about, as Garris puts it, “someone stabbing you in the back.” “It was so fun because her voice allowed us to expand our palette and do some weird, off-the-wall things that we maybe wouldn’t do in another song,” guitarist Isaac Hale says of the track. “We felt [Read More]
Guster is gearing up for the release of their ninth studio album Ooh La L on May 17th. The release is the first LP in more than five years. Ooh La La marks a bold departure from its predecessor, 2019’s acclaimed Look Alive. This time, Guster carved out a lush and acclaimed expansive sound rich in acoustic guitars and graceful piano work. With additional production from Ron Aniello (Bruce Springsteen) and Rich Costey (Death Cab for Cutie, Of Monsters and Men), Ooh La La radiates an undeniable warmth, even as its songs delve into the more daunting aspects of modern life. “When I listen back to the album now it feels like there’s depth everywhere,” says drummer Brian Rosenworcel. “There’s not a moment where we strike a chord that isn’t meaningful to us. Nobody was going to accept a song that didn’t hit at a certain level, and it feels good to still have that passion more than 30 years into our career.” “We feel lucky that we’ve created a dynamic where there’s no real separation between us and our fans,” says [Read More]
