Hear Galleon “In Stereo”

My affinity for all things Adelaide doesn’t appear to be waning. Today I’m fawning over “In Stereo,” the new single from the city’s four-piece rockers Galleon.

You might remember the song “Kamikaze” which these lads released a few months ago. I liked that but I love this; it starts gently but builds to a lovely epic crescendo. The band’s front man Nick Deegan says the song “questions the conventional 9-5 lifestyle and attempts to somewhat justify and even glorify the lesser travelled path of being an artist, and in particular a musician.”

And isn’t that what we all need on a weekend?

“In Stereo” comes from Galleon’s forthcoming album which was engineered and mixed by Jimi Maroudas (Eskimo Joe, The Living End) and produced by Patrick ‘Patch’ Robertson of Motorace.

If you’re digging the song make sure you catch Galleon at one of their upcoming shows!

Adelaide Rockers Galleon One to Watch

Adelaide quartet Galleon is the latest local outfit to find themselves on my radar. I’ve only heard this track “Kamikaze,” but already I’m hooked on their crunchy guitars and the lush vocals of lead singer Nick Deegan.

“Kamikaze to me is about transition of youth to adulthood and everything in between,” explained Nick. “Kamikaze was the word that best described the amount of new, cool and fucked up shit you go through in such a small period of your life, in that sometimes life is seamless and sometimes you crash and burn. Overall we live and learn…”

That we do! An album an Aussie tour to support its release aren’t too far off, so keep your ears out for these lads.
