Royal Chant is a garage band from the wilds of NSW that plays overdriven folk songs with passion and poetry, sounding something like pop put through a fuzzbox blender, with a voice drawn from equal parts Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Michael Stipe, and the Oxford Book of English Verse...and a rose between your teeth.

Royal Chant have just finished work on their new EP, Starts & Stutters, which follows up where their debut Right On/Write Off EP left off. Howling guitars, thumping drums, and an incessant voice that wails, purrs, and growls on all subjects in the canon of human experience.
