Such was the vision lead singer Rahill Jamalifard first had when hatching the idea for the band. A moody and seductive tone set against a primitive and surreal soundscape. Lending its voice to somber echoes and jangles of post punk and psychedelia. How often we wander to the uncomfortable depths of our darker minds, where unanswered questions live, where they stay carefully tucked away, still existing, unaddressed. In Roya, the exploration begins, confronting the fears and realities we struggle with. The mediocrity of life, complacency, death and its undoings, life and its great fragility, Roya invades the minds and hearts of its listeners greeting them unwavering emotion. The bands early formation consisting of singer Rahill Jamalifard, guitarist Jay Heislemann and drummer Hamish Kilgour set the foundation for Royas deliberately minimal sound. Kilgour, notable as a founding member of New Zealands seminal post punk band The Clean, plays shambolic and primitive driving drumbeats that add layers of depth and texture to his boldness. Heislmanns guitar spills over Kilgour’s rhythmic web with deconstructed arabic surf riffs dripping wet with noisy undertones. This melodically demented outfit cradle Jamalifards stark and naked vocals that paint over each chorus with grief-stricken and doleful lyrics that are raw but gentle in delivery. Joined later by contributing song writer and guitarist Christian Sawyer, who played briefly before moving to the west coast, the band began to record their self titled debut record at the now defunct Death By Audio recording studio. Joining them during this time was bassist Alix Brown, whose spirited gusto added attitude and swagger with her driving grooves. In its current formation Roya is a five piece ensemble with Tyler Love on rhythm guitar and mellotron and Lyla Vander on drums.
