The Royales

          In the past, Australia has given the world some incredible rock bands.  They brought AC/DC into the world with their impactful rock anthems that changed the face of rock music.  Then, they brought us INXS who ruled the pop-rock world for a decade with high-energy radio hits.  Other successful bands from Australia are Men at Work, who blended new wave, reggae, and pure rock, as well as the pop-rock and blues influenced Cold Chisel.  Today, The Royales carry on the tradition of excellent rock music from Australia, with their own blend of musical styles that makes them unstoppable.

          The last 2 decades have brought about innumerable changes to the music industry.  Possibly one of the biggest game-changers has been the advent and popularization of the internet.  Though it has had both a positive and negative impact on the music industry (the ability to pirate music so easily is generally considered negative), it has, on the whole, had a largely positive impact.  Aside from the new audiences that it has allowed musicians to reach and the incredible ease of distribution, the internet has also opened the door for one of the most significant recent changes in the tried and true method for musicians to create music; the record label.  In today's world, almost anyone can create music by raising money through the use of a kickstarter, including the talented musicians of On Til' Morning.

WARNING
Rock may cause the shredding of air molecules strung apart by axe, minor earthquakes created by bass, and the smell of melting clocks as a result of the drumming. 

CAUTION
These sounds could result in nudity or subdominant or dominant toxicity. Please, don't leave your socks behind. - Starved Rock

          Throughout history, Germany has given us some of the greatest musicians of all time, such as J.S. Bach, and in more modern times, The Scorpions (Rock You Like A Hurricane anyone?).  In addition, who could forget the infamous techno and tekkno musical movements that boomed in Germany starting in the mid 1980's.  Today, however, I have something different for you, I have The Canvas Divine.
