Royal Oak – “A Song For Ya”

Based in Vancouver, this Canadian quartet of friends has been making music since childhood. Knowing each other as well as they do and having learned their instruments together, gives them an unique chemistry. Consisting of Austin Ledyard, Brayson Wong, Myles Philpott and Michael Kragelj, they’ve opened for New Zealand pop-rock band Six60. They released their self-titled debut EP in 2015.

Written over Zoom during lockdown and inspired by Brayson’s ex, their new single chronicles the breakup of a toxic relationship. Layering a pop-punk aesthetic on top of their alternative pop sound, the song is driven by an insatiable beat and bass plucks and leads to an energetic chorus. With the addition of retro Super Nintendo sounds and a wild electric guitar solo, this groove is for everyone.
