DEBUT ALBUM
'ARKOMAI'
Release Date: NOVEMBER 05
“ARKOMAI follows the struggles and emotions that come with growing up in today’s world. Across the album, we move through different sonic environments and bend grunge, punk, alternative and emo influences into one long, fuzzed out earworm. It is angry, vulnerable and chaotic, but underneath everything it is about finding power and belonging together.
The title comes from the Greek word ἄρχομαι, meaning ‘to begin’ or ‘to make a beginning.’ That felt right for our debut album because it represents the beginning of SPEIRA’s next chapter and the community we want to build through this music.”
SPEIRA (Bio)
Born from the bones of a dying hometown rock scene in Brisbane, SPEIRA (pron. Spy-Ra) is a no-frills female-fronted alternative rock band, attempting resuscitation.
All volume and fuzz, with a front woman who cuts straight through all the noise, SPEIRA’s sound is a unique mix of raw rock, alternative energy, a vein of blues and a hint of pop.
Together, they’re not chasing whatever’s trending - they’re creating it.
In their first year of operation, they’ve proved their constant hard work is paying off with a cameo in an upcoming Hollywood film, a record deal with Yama Nui, collaborations with Grammy-award Winning Mixing Engineer Nick Didia and ARIA Award Winning Producer Paulie Bromley, opening for The Living End, Dune Rats, Teenage Joans + Cosmic Psychos, playing for sold-out rooms, festival slots, a BIGSOUND showcase slot, and a debut album on the way.
Known city-wide for their explosive live shows, the band have forged themselves as one of Brisbane’s vital emerging forces. Blending a fiery live presence, raw and honest music, a burning passion that can’t be snuffed, and ‘the peoples’ story to tell, SPEIRA is creating a generational movement right on your doorstep.
Right now you can say you found them early. That won't last.
