OUR PHILOSOPHY
Collision Course is founded on the following principles:

1. Heavy Music, regardless of its place on the genre spectrum, is about community. The fans get it and the bands get it. It’s important that you have a marketing team that gets it and knows that community and how to tap them. We understand the niches, the industry, the artists and how to get to those fans.

2. The integrity of the music is paramount. We are in it for the music and it’s important that you are too. We’re about working with artists and labels who want to build long-term careers and to take their genre forward, not just those who want a quick hit of stardom.

3. Marketing isn’t JUST about taking your record into a radio station or calling up a newspaper, as important as they are. Marketing is about getting the right people to hear your music and giving you the tools you need to succeed in this market, whether that’s advice on your social media, some contacts for live shows or assistance with strategic planning. When you’re working with Collision Course you don’t sign up to our team, we sign on to yours.

4. Sustainability is the best path to success. We understand that our role is to work with you to build fanbases to sustainable levels, not just to quote you a service. We want to build our relationship with you at the same time that you build your relationship with your audience, creating opportunities for all.

Described as the cute, quirkiness of Adam Green, mixed with the deliberate lo-fi aesthetics of musicians such as Daniel Johnston and Bill Callahan - Royken Zomerdijk blends simple, offbeat lyrics with acoustic guitar and a range of musical accompaniments, from shakers to glockenspiels, kazoos to cereal boxes and anything and everything he can utilise to create his sounds.

Born in his bedroom, as a teenager in 2004 - Royken put his beaten up old acoustic guitar and 8 track tape recorder to use, creating songs about kids robbing ice cream vans, odes to llamas and love songs about iron chefs.

His music has been played on the radio in both the United States and Australia, including being selected to be featured on Mike Watt's (The Stooges, Minutemen) radio show. Although his fan base was always small -  they were dedicated - including one publican in Delaware who copied Royken's music to CD and handed them out to customers at his bar.

Thanks to the magic of SoundCloud, please enjoy this collection of genre defying hits of lyrical genius.
