Been in the music scene in Aus for years, was the lead in a project called Tim & Jean.. has also had other projects along the way, incredible musician!

[@xart23x]

How tf had I never heard of these kids before? Love every damn song. Every one is so good at their post, keys, drummer, guitarist and lead singer so f’n good. What a team…what a band. Found em when I heard “murder on the dance floor” cover. Excellent!

[@JeffArchuleta]

Same here! They make me wish I was 25 again!

[@carlosarguello2931]

That’s the beauty of music ❤

[@wayne1gro]

Exactly - they make me feel like a 20 year old again 😂

[@wayne1gro]

So awkward - so cool 👌

[@dylancarmody2445]

You should listen to their linger cover 👌🏼

[@FantasyAllies]

Was scrolling tik tok and came across this band and it made my life so much better. Love all of the music guys. Everyone of you is so talented. Never change!

[@mbritish97]

They sound the same live as they do on the record! This is amazing and I can't wait to hear more from them!!

[@Soul-Taker]

Yeah makes me a bit suss, I'm pretty sure this wasn't live or only partly live

[@davidcoolguy123]

@@Soul-Taker I saw them live at Splendour in the Grass and they were just as good!

[@stencarlson5403]

Australia is full of great music. These guys are outstanding. Stream tripleJ for more!

It looks like Royel is showing his face more, stoked for the new album!

[@tyfendi2303]

so stocked for em. happy royel is more comfortable now too.

[@jaymueller2418]

As long as his guitar keeps singing, I’m happy for him to show his face, hide, whatever works for him.

@@jaymueller2418 exactly !

[@Pixelchus]

Motels and Fried Rice have me in a chokehold, but I love this set so much!

[@NEFFxsaVaGe]

The new album will be excellent. Have you heard “Never Been More Sure” by Royel Otis? The bass line is so good; it's so groovy and gets you dancing

[@jaymueller2418]

Mate, “Motels” is the balls.

[@Pixelchus]

@@NEFFxsaVaGe Yes! I love the little soft electro moment they had a couple years ago. The album has also been on repeat! I am so stoked.

Esta presentación lo es todo! 😍

[@waitingtilthree]

This performance is the best and coolest thing I've seen or heard in a long time

[@gatordude1097]

I liked their music before seeing them live this past weekend and now im absolutely in love 💙 🎶

[@jamesfoster4106]

Shaky Knees set was tight! So glad I checked them out!

[@gatordude1097]

@@jamesfoster4106 I was at the barricade for them on Sunday! They were one of the bands I was looking forward to seeing the most and they delivered big time!

[@wwhimawst5520]

I never knew those were the lyrics in the second verse of going kokomo

[@trashracoon95]

Those aren't the lyrics 😂

[@anthonyblackwood5814]

😍❤️🔥🙌⭐💯👏 All of these boys together make one of the best bands I've heard since 80s underground alternative. (My favorite decade and music)

[@BassPotter46]

The kind of drummer you want in your band!

[@user-xs7oo2yn9r]

Crowd is so chill. I’m gonna be going bananas when they come to Dallas area in a couple months

[@rachelhenderson4850]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m about to 48 years old and my favorite sxm station is alt nation where I first heard this song! I love it! I love it! I love it!🥰

[@FestMonster]

Gorgeous performance - Tickets booked to see them 2 mins in

[@RedSocksPhy]

I love the synergy this band has. I listen to tons of bands/groups and Royel Otis are something else, simply are made to create music together.

[@hay_bail1]

love hearing the instruments live. sound great!

[@donuteater7774]

drummer is sick

[@2wfit]

It's got a bit of war on drugs, a bit of the cure, a bit of the drums, a bit of foo fighters, bit of everything

[@JoeBlow_4]

I hear some Fischerspooner as well.

[@Tribeloko]

I hear the killers and modest mouse

[@dosstabos123]

and Dinosaur Jr

[@nochinben7216]

strokes

[@Sam-ng4vm]

Agreed! maybe even some shades of Toro Y Moi in there. The guitarist definitely got a lot of inspiration from War on Drugs on some of his super catchy hooks

[@con72945]

This band is AMAZING wow.

[@user-ux5wh4qj1h]

I was hooked from the first their song I heard in summer 2022, was Egg Beater. Their music speaks for itself, THE VIBE, forever grateful I found them! Royel's guitar sound is a honey for my ears💓

[@FeuxMocha]

Crazy how they are able to preserve their super unique sound even when live. Super talented.

[@HeyThereJeremiah]

I’m so excited for these guys

[@chrisgrundyphoto]

So damn good!!

[@oscarherrera2807]

Ive been listen to royel otis from October 23, im in a little trauma with all their music, this guys are f*cikn amazing! Hope a Mexico City concert.

deadest crowd ever

[@paulallen6992]

Two guitar players and they still use a backing track for the lead guitar on Sofa King during the chorus lol. A bit disappointing.
