After wrapping up a massive 2023 that saw the Sydney-based guitar-pop duo drop a string of awesome singles, cement themselves as one of the countries most exciting live acts and get an ARIA nomination for ‘Breakthrough Artist of the Year’, Otis Pavlovic and Royel Maddell AKA Royel Otis are showing no signs of slowing down - in fact, they’re picking up the pace.

Releasing their highly anticipated and now highly touted debut album PRATTS & PAIN in February, the guys have been celebrating by taking the album on the road, including a stop off in W.A. to play Freo Social on March 2 and Pilerats was there to snap the action!
