Following their current Los Angeles shows, the Sydney duo will perform at both New York City's Governors Ball Music Festival and Tennessee's Bonnaroo festival ahead of a run of festival dates throughout Europe, the U.K., and North America before launching their own headline shows in September.
Royel Otis first formed in 2019, releasing a series of EPs between 2021 and 2023 before issuing their debut album, Pratts & Pain in 2024. Though their 'Sofa King' track reached No. 12 on the Alternative Airplay chart in 2023, the band found widespread fame last year following their cover of Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 'Murder on the Dancefloor' for Australian radio station triple j's Like a Version series.
The cover topped the Alternative Airplay charts and also peaked at No. 41 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. The group's penchant for covers was again felt when their SiriusXM session rendition of The Cranberries' 'Linger' was released, giving them their first appearance on the Hot 100 when it reached No. 94.
In late 2024, Royel Otis won four ARIA Awards from eight nominations, including best group and best rock album, while producer Chris Collins won best produced release and best engineered release for Pratts & Pain.
Currently, Royal Otis are ostensibly preparing the launch of their latest era, having recently overhauled their socials with a largely minimalist approach. Alongside noting that 'there will be singing. and dancing. and new music' alongside their latest tour announcement, the group have been teasing a song which 'may or may not be called 'Moody'' for a May 9 release.

Ally Walker, Star of ‘Sons of Anarchy,' Debuts New Metaphysical Thriller ‘The Light Runner'
LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Red Rabbit Press LLC. presents 'The Light Runner' (ISBN: 978-1966981060). Ally Walker has captivated audiences with unforgettable roles—from June Stahl in 'Sons of Anarchy' to Dr. Sam Waters in 'Profiler.' Her versatility has made her a standout presence in film and television, with memorable performances in 'Universal Soldier' and 'While You Were Sleeping.' After recent appearances in 'Ghosted, Longmire, and Colony,' Walker now brings her storytelling prowess to the page with her debut novel, 'The Light Runner.' With 'The Light Runner,' Walker delivers a metaphysical thriller that bends reality, unravels secrets, and challenges perception. At Bainbridge Psychiatric Hospital, the lines between truth and illusion are dangerously thin. Dr. Ella Kramer, a psychiatrist haunted by her own past, is assigned to Captain Oliver Haskell, a decorated war hero whose fractured mind may hold the key to solving his wife's brutal murder. As she delves deeper into his unraveling psyche, she begins to uncover disturbing patterns among the other patients—patterns that suggest Bainbridge is far more than it seems. Walker's cinematic storytelling shines through in the novel, earning praise from her peers. Actress Sarah Wayne Callies, 'The Walking Dead,' called it 'propulsive, thoughtful, incisive—a thriller that stands out in a crowded field.' A masterful weaving of past and present, actor Tim DeKay 'Oppenheimer' described it as 'a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the prisons we build for ourselves, both within and without.' Katey Sagal 'Sons of Anarchy, Married with Children.' praised the novel's immersive storytelling, saying, 'The imagery is vivid and other-worldly, and the storytelling makes it impossible to put down. The characters are unique and compelling, making the whole ride fun.' Walker's ability to create cinematic storytelling is a standout feature of 'The Light Runner.' Robert Davi (Profiler, Die Hard) emphasizes her deep understanding of character and narrative, declaring, 'Ally Walker has planted her flag in the crime genre… vivid storytelling, pacing, and character development—true cinematic storytelling.' Beyond the unraveling mystery, 'The Light Runner' bridges psychological suspense with metaphysical intrigue. Christine Lahti (Chicago Hope) calls it 'a fantastical page-turner… a thriller that bridges two worlds and begs the question—how will you fight to keep your humanity?' Walker crafts a thriller that grips, unsettles, and refuses to let go. 'The Light Runner' releases June 6, 2025.

America's Hottest Chicken Chain Started With $900—and Just Sold For $1 Billion
As soon as you walk through the door of a Dave's Hot Chicken, you see all the things that make it unlike other restaurant chains. The simple menu. The walls covered in murals and splattered with graffiti. The range of spice levels topped by 'Reaper,' which is so hot that it requires a waiver. 'You acknowledge that eating the Reaper can cause you harm,' the paperwork warns, 'including, but not limited to, bodily injury, property damage, emotional distress, or even death.'
