Sounds like: Alternative/Pop/Rock
1. How did you get started with music and how did you develop your sound?
I wrote my first song “Amber” in 1985 when I was 15 and got my first microphone and guitar soon after. I started off Punk and Grunge sounding but listened to as much music as I could to be broad minded.
2. What do you want people to take away from your music?
I want them to think about them and their lives and to find solitude in our art. Have their own experiences. Hopefully we are a cool new act they can get into that’s genuine.
3. How would you describe your sound to the average listener?
We have been described as “90’s with a modern twist” and one person said “cool INXS” which made me laugh. We always put the song first and any genre is not off limits.
4. Who are three bands you’d like to tour with?
I’d love to tour with Tropical Fuck Storm, The Breeders, and Radiohead.
5. What's your thoughts on AI generated music?
AI can be a handy tool to make demos or test out different keys quickly but I don’t like music solely made from AI. As Mick Jagger says it has to be original.
6. What’s your take on the current state of Rock?
I think there is a lot of cool undiscovered stuff in the underground that’s dying to burst through. It’s time for the older brigade to nurture that or get out of the way.
7. What’s the current local music scene like there in Australia?
It’s amazing here in Melbourne, so many venues to play. I get so much support from the local studios.
8. What’s your take on the royalties that streaming services pay out to artists?
It seems very low, I have not made any profit from millions of streams but I don't want them to put the subscription prices up for young fans.
9. What’s next for ReeToxA?
We are recording our third album, it’s 22 great songs with great variety. It should be out between Dec - Feb.
10. Any shoutouts?
Big thank you to our producer “Simon Moro” ! His patience and diligence know no bounds and he has changed my life.
