Mistletone is proud to announce the signing of Melbourne, Australia’s royalchord. Their third album The Good Fight will be released in Australia & New Zealand on Mistletone Records thru Inertia on September 19. The ladies of royalchord are currently touring extensively in the US, where the album has been released on the Supply And Demand label.
Tammy Haider and Eliza Hiscox started out in 2001 playing dusty alt-country with the royalchord crew that at one point swelled up to 8 members. Tammy and Eliza now play primarily as a duo, replacing guitars with keyboards and band members with chopped drum breaks and sequenced bass lines. Their new record The Good Fight sees them combine electronics with their neurotic and melancholic sensibility, delivering songs that range from summer pop to funereal folk.
royalchord will spend 2009 touring the United States, Europe, and Australia.
There are 2 x album preview MP3s up on the Mistletone website
