PRAISE FOR RVG – FERAL

“Album Of The Week: RVG deliver near-perfect record With ‘Feral’ “- The Music 

“Easily one of the most vital bands on the Aussie scene today” – Rolling Stone

“There are plenty of Australian bands that combine the bookish insularity of British indie music, the suburban jangle of 80s Aussie rock, and a punkish sneer straight from CBGB’s – but Melbourne’s RVG manage to sound like they rolled out of bed and into the studio fully formed, such is the languid way this song unfolds.” – The Guardian 

“When you listen to a song as good as this, it feels like you’re overhearing a conversation. There’s no contrived, overwrought descriptors to take away from the core message in the song. And when that core message is as brutal and heartbreaking as this one, listening to it is a deeply affecting experience.” – Double J on ‘I Used To Love You’

“Maintaining the band’s raw energy while adding newfound depth and sheen…Vager’s evocative howl underscored by instrumentation that’s powerful without overpowering.”  – The Fader

“Cycling between flashes of crushing emotional honesty and silver and glinting guitar lines, ‘Alexandra’ hurts almost as much as it uplifts. It’s a work of great emotional nuance and intelligence — but it never beats you over the head with its brilliance. It’s this mini-work of art that makes no demands of you whatsoever. Only that you listen, and have your whole self changed.” – Junkee

Today RVG announce their long awaited Feral Australian Album Tour. Now over a year since it’s release, and with plenty of time for the band and fans alike to ruminate on it’s themes in isolation RVG are bringing the album to life across Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Fremantle and Castlemaine.

Starting the tour with a bang RVG are playing at the Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid Live before heading around the country throughout August and September.

This marks the first interstate shows since the release of second album Feral last year. Recorded at Head Gap studios with producer Victor Van Vugt (PJ Harvey, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Beth Orton), Feral was RVG’s first full-length release in three years, coming just as the world went into hibernation.

To Romy Vager, RVG’s lead singer and lyricist, to feel feral is to feel outside of everything. Throughout the album that feeling of isolation is incited, but it never feels hopeless: these songs channel the raw energy of despair and frustration into melodies that often feel victorious, perhaps only because they so aptly supply a soundtrack to the end of days.

Following a recent collaboration with Julia Jacklin covering Björk’s ‘Army of Me’ and a handful of Melbourne based shows earlier this year, including a slot at Boogie Festival, RVG are set for their return to shows across the border. Tickets are on sale now. 

RVG live is Romy Vager, Reuben Bloxham, Marc Nolte and Isabele Wallace.

TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW HERE
