“your next fave WA band” – Dave Ruby Howe, triple j Unearthed

“Ra Ra Viper makes the chaos makes sense – love the hazey aura this track creates” – Anika Luna, triple j Unearthed
“….deepen their alt-rock sound…..with new tones and textures, plucked from garage-rock/indie-pop’s greater umbrella.” – Pilerats

Hot on the heels of the announcement that Fremantle’s alt-rock sensation Ra Ra Viper are set to drop their debut album Big Speak on November 1, today they’re treating fans to a fresh new hit with latest single ‘Pinkies’.
Listen to ‘PINKIES’ HERE
The track, which received a first play on triple j’s Home & Hosed, was birthed from demo instrumentation heavily inspired by a combination of Dandy Warhols and Royel Otis.
The band comment, “When we later came to write lyrics, Bolty brought his acoustic round to Jack’s place one night and we knocked them out altogether after a few more beers than usual… What came out of that was a full nostalgia trip for us, with melancholy lyrics reflecting back on our younger days. This vibe was then built into the final tracking of the song, most notably in the very restrained lead vocal (very uncharacteristic for a Ra Ra song, for those who’ve been listening).”
Their debut album Big Speak, including previous releases 4AM Child, Shark & ‘Howler’, was recorded at Debaser Studio and produced by Andy Lawson (Noah Dillon, Fool Nelson, and Verge Collection).
The five-piece have received massive radio support including adds across triple j, triple j Unearthed, RTR, Edge Radio, first plays on triple j Home & Hosed, and featured as triple j Unearthed Track of the Day. They’ve also received extensive DSP playlisting across Spotify’s Local Noise, New Music Friday AU/NZ, Fresh Finds AU/NZ, and Indie Arrivals, plus Apple’s Good Times, New Music Daily, Breaking Rock.
Drawing inspiration from the raw energy of Fontaines D.C. and IDLES, they crafted a sound that is darker, more brutal, and hauntingly beautiful. The result is an evolution in their music, blending visceral emotion with a captivating sonic experience.
Big Speak offers a darker yet playful and introspective view of life. The tracks symbolize emotional existence in the modern world, treating everyday encounters as opportunities to learn and appreciate the moments that remind us we are truly alive.
On the release of their debut album, the band reflect “Knowing that this opportunity might not come again, we’ve poured immense blood, sweat, and emotion into this album over the last seven months. We are incredibly proud and happy to have created something that not only captures this unique period in all of our lives but does so in a way that will have a lasting, positive impact”
Known for their sweaty, energy filled performances, the band are hitting the road for a national tour this November heading to Fremantle, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane. They’ve also just been announced on Perth’s NYE Festival You and Me.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
