Rock News: Canada's The Meringues want to be treated like 'Royalty' on their latest single
Kingston, Ontario’s post-punk powerhouse The Meringues have released their new single "Royalty". This single is from their eagerly anticipated sophomore album, Pavlova's Dog, which will be available on September 16th, 2024. At the heart of The Meringues are Amanda Pants and Ted Evans, whose dynamic vocal interplay and loveable banter can be construed as intense. Their unique chemistry is supported by the solid rhythm section of Jackson Baird on bass and Alastair Morrison on drums, creating an entertaining atmosphere that threatens to spiral out of control in their artistic vision. The Meringues' sound is sure to impress fans of Pixies, Weezer, The Strokes, The Beaches, Amyl and the Sniffers, July Talk, Wet Leg, Wolf Alice, and PUP.
“It’s that feeling of having idealized someone, only to discover they didn't deserve it. Or when you thought you knew someone, but they revealed a different side. This song explores the disorienting feeling of realizing you were wrong about someone or something.”Amanda Pants-vocalist
The new video for “Royalty" was directed, shot, and edited by Josh Lyon (Akaflk Productions). Ted Evans shares his experience: “The video shoot was in a beautiful, older building with no air conditioning on one of the hottest days of the year. Working with Josh was fantastic; he really brought the video to life. Jackson, our bassist, was featured prominently, especially in the bass-driven section after the guitar solo, which is one of my favourite parts of the album.” Initially, I didn't think 'Royalty' would make the album, but once the lyrics came together, it took on a different feeling for the band. Alastair and Jackson added parts that quickly made it a standout track. Eventually, we realized 'Royalty' had to be single, and the music video has solidified it as a band favourite.”
