cleopatrick releases new single ‘GUTS’ before Australian tour debut
Canadian duo cleopatrick recently dropped their fresh single ‘GUTS’ and are gearing up for their first headline shows in Australia later this month. The pair, consisting of Luke Gruntz on vocals and guitar and Ian Fraser on drums, have been making music together for a decade, starting from humble beginnings in small Ontario venues and eventually performing to packed crowds in the UK and Europe. Their recent performance at London’s O2 Forum was a testament to their journey.
‘GUTS’ holds a special significance for the duo, as it was originally penned during the period between their boys EP and their debut album BUMMER, but was set aside and left incomplete. Gruntz rediscovered the track while flying home from a tour earlier this year and found new inspiration to finish it. The song represents the start of an exciting creative phase for the band, hinting at a larger project centered around unearthed demos that they are eager to share with their fans.
From their early days in high school to receiving a JUNO Award nomination and a SOCAN songwriting award, cleopatrick has established a unique sound in the contemporary rock scene. Their music, characterized by heavy riffs, draws comparisons to bands like Royal Blood, Highly Suspect, and early Arctic Monkeys. The band is known for their energetic live performances and promises an electrifying experience at their upcoming Australian shows.
Gruntz teased about the upcoming shows in typical cleopatrick fashion, promising a setlist that includes mosh pit anthems, tracks that evoke a “FAKE MOON” vibe, and brand new music that packs a powerful punch. The duo’s Australian tour dates are as follows:
– Sep 25 – Brisbane, Crowbar
– Sep 26 – Melbourne, Corner Hotel
– Sep 27 – Sydney, Crowbar
Tickets for the shows are available for purchase through Three Kings Touring, and fans can look forward to an unforgettable night of raw, unapologetic rock music. Stay tuned for more updates on cleopatrick’s new music and upcoming projects as they continue to push boundaries and captivate audiences worldwide.
