Disposable: Royel Otis

Mornings on the bus, with our boy behind the lights - Matt aka mattress.

‘The boys!’

I exclaimed across the cafeteria of the backstage artist area at Kilby Block Party last month at ‘the boys,’ and by that I meant the members of Royel Otis. Royel O have sort of shot to the top of the greater population’s musical minds after going what they and I would both hate to say but is likely very accurately, ‘viral’. While we can all collectively hate the internet, we cannot deny that without the internet, we would not have access to Royel Otis, so there’s a silver lining. We handed them a disposable camera to shoot around and this is what the came back with. Stolen golf carts, Mortal Kombat, and Agua Donkeys. Lovely.
