Countdown commencing, we're leaving soon...

Low budget alternative pop rock. Max Oakland's music is perfect for the liminal times when the day is ending or beginning. Driving around on a summer night right before sunset, walking through alleyways, sitting at home, on a bus, anywhere

Max strives to build community through the art that he creates. With its stripped-down production and complex arrangement, Max’s music truly drives you to look into yourself to see whatever may be there.

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.
