The Regime – Sounds of Oz

Eora/Sydney funk collective The Regime are bringing a little soul to your day with their fabulous new single “Be a Lover.” This song is super smooth, with a deep groove you just can’t help moving to. Taking cues from classic acts like Sam Cooke, George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic, and D’Angelo, this goes down really easy.

“’Be A Lover’ is a soulful ode to funky liberation,” The Regime explained. “The song is about ‘what it feels like to dance away all of your constrictions’. Inspired by the indigenous Jesus Christ, Mother Mary full of funk, and the omnipresence of our non-binary creator aka The greatest Mac of all, also known as the big ‘G’.”

Amen!

This is set to be a massive year for The Regime, who plan on releasing not one but two full-length albums. It’s time to get on board the love train!

The Regime sounds like they’ve come out of Detroit or Memphis, but this 16-piece funk collective is entirely homegrown. If you love old-school soul sounds, you’re going to fall hard from the Sydney act’s latest single “Never Gonna Stop.” Just see if you can resist tapping your toes to this effortless groove!

“The whole song was recorded in my bedroom,” explained vocalist and producer Liam Stacey, “all except the drums which were done in Julian Joseph’s (vocals) room, and the house is metres away from the Sydenham train lines, 24-hour railway construction, and right under the flight path. So, obviously we left the windows open during recording!”

Newly signed to New World Artists, The Regime has a string of shows scheduled including three shows at the prestigious Byron Bay Bluesfest. Catch them at one of the following gigs near you.

8 March 2020 – Big Gay Day, Wickham
22 March 2020 – The Boogiemanz Ball, The Factory Theatre, Sydney
