For the last few years Brisbane band, The Rockefeller Frequency have been creating energetic indie-rock music fuelled by anxiety, and an unhealthy fascination with conspiracy theories. Fusing influences such as Refused, The Strokes and George Orwell, The Rockefeller Frequency have recorded their new single, ‘The Rift’; a song about reckoning with inner demons in the face of our own mortality.
“Our new song ‘The Rift’ is about the struggle to accept who you are in the context of a close relationship when you are a very flawed or self-absorbed individual. It’s about reckoning with the reality that at our worst, we are mostly just little tyrants fighting to put ourselves first in one way or another, and how it would be to our detriment to allow that type of egotism to go unchecked. It’s not all bad though. There is love out there, and that is worth everything.”
– Joshua Eckersley (vocals)
The song was written in parts, over a couple of years, with the global political climate having a substantial impact on the finished sounds. Lead singer Joshua Eckersley states, “writing the song against the backdrop of the ongoing Trump media circus really contributed to the sense of helplessness, loss, and feeling way off course personally, and that really comes across in the lyrics.”
With a true punk rock ethos, the single has been a full DIY journey from inception through to its release. The recording process took place in the band’s own Basement Studios in Brisbane, and was engineered and produced by the band also along with the bulk of their yet to be released debut album. “The beauty of doing it yourself”, says Joshua Eckersley, “is you can take your time, and try some really weird shit, and you don’t have to answer to anyone or worry about money. You just create art, go about your day, then do it again.”
The Rockefeller Frequency are – Joshua Eckersley (Vocals), Jacob Mann (Drums), Tim Corcoran (Guitar), and Michael Russell (Bass).
Their debut album is due for release early next year (2020).
