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).
‘The Rift’ is due for release 14th June 2019, with their debut album due for release early next year (2020).

BIO (2019)
The Rockefeller Frequency
The Rockefeller Frequency is an alternative rock band from Brisbane, Australia, creating energetic indie-rock music, mixed with tousled pop hooks and socio-political lyrics. Born from an unhealthy fascination with conspiracy theories, and inspired by artists like Refused, At The Drive In and The Strokes, The Rockefeller Frequency create fast paced, compelling music that embodies the idea that human beings, as a species, can be so much more than just walking haircuts.
For the last few years The Rockefeller Frequency has been performing in various states of functionality and utter dysfunction, playing live shows with artists such as Birds of Tokyo and Calling all Cars. The band has recently been hard at work, recording their latest single ‘The Rift’, as well as working on their debut album, due for release early next year (2020).

AMNPLIFY – DB
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.
