The beaches duo serve up a slice of fresh indie for your new music Friday…
Royal Otis is a name you’re probably already familiar with, the Bondi duo (made up of Royel and Otis, of course) exploding onto the scene last year with their unique vintage of laid back indie. With each release their momentum continued to build, adherents of the genre from all across the state flocking to their intimate gigs in the hope of seeing them before their inevitable blow up.
It culminated in their critically acclaimed debut EP Campus. And now, the boys are back with another tasty offering to for our earholes, today releasing their sophomore EP, Bar N’ Grill.

Made up of six lush tracks oozing indie elixir, the new offering shows the duo’s ever expanding range in both a lyrical and musical sense. Whether they’re serving up care indie pop or ravenous psych voodoo, the feeling is there, and it makes for some extra special moments across the project.
To get a deeper insight into the project and one of the most exciting acts in the Sydney scene right now, read on to check out the duo’s full walkthrough of Bar N’ Grill below.
‘Oysters in My Pocket’
“Oysters in My Pocket is faking it till you make it. If you get caught the consequences are miles away.”
Motels
“The story of a young man with an older woman. When their worlds started colliding It didn’t work out but try to enjoy the memory.”
Bull Breed
“Bull Breed is the feeling you get when you’ve jumped in a trolley to ride down the hill but it starts turning on its side and you’ll fly out at any moment. Gotta pray those wheels don’t lock up.”
Right Behind
“Right Behind is a love letter to a sick mum.”
Egg Beater
“Not wanting to settle down and get your shit together while embarrassing the people you love. Just have fun and be an egg beater once in a while. Or all the time who cares!”
Warm Nights
“After a big night just trying to find comfort in any situation you’ve found yourself in. All trains have stopped going and buses won’t get you home so it’s time to settle in for the night and the warmest place is the top level of the car park.”
Royal Otis’ new EP Bar N’ Grill is out now. You can buy/stream it here.
