There's A New Generation Of Rock'N'Rollers On The Rise

Named after a pub in Melbourne, heavy blues outfit The Royal Artillery frontman Zed Charles believes the new generation of live music is upon us, and it's looking good.

"I think there's a new generation coming through who are getting keen on rock'n'roll again, Hobo Magic and Grim Rhythm for example," Charles declares, "it's all still pretty underground right now but there are new venues and festivals popping up all the time, the future is bright!" 

From picking up the guitar at ten years of age, Charles has always felt most at home on stage, and that has been deeply cemented by the recent experience of ex-Queens Of The Stone Age and Kyuss bassist Nick Oliveri joining them on stage at Mojo Burning Festival. "We played Tension Head and Millionaire and it went off!"

When asked what else to expect from their live shows, Charles says "a lot of energy, a bit of shouting and jumping around, a Black Sabbath song, weird inside jokes" are par for the course. Charles' long list goes on and on, featuring "broken glass" and "hedonistic tendencies". Hectic! 

The duo is hitting up the east coast supporting Elko Fields across August so you've been warned of what's to come, now go get amongst it!
