BRISBANE ROCK GROUP SPEIRA UNVEIL NEW SINGLE ‘HOLE’
Coming together over a shared love of unfiltered and bold rock/alternative music, Brisbane four-piece SPEIRA have wasted no time in generating heat around their music and impenetrable live chemistry.
The group have been building consistently since making their debut last year and with a busy summer ahead, the band excitedly takes their next big step forward with the announcement of their debut album: ARKOMAI. Released on Thursday 5 November via Yama Nui Records, the album is a culmination of shared experiences and raw perspectives, delivered through a musical lens that feels vibrant and sincere.
From it, SPEIRA today share a taste of their forthcoming studio record, in the bold single ‘HOLE’. Recorded with ARIA winning producer Paulie Bromley (george, The Beautiful Girls), at the beautiful Yama Nui Studios on the Sunshine Coast, the group was able to lock in and explore their creative chemistry in a way that has brought them closer together as a unit.
As the band describes of ‘HOLE’, “Beneath the instrumental uplifting energy, lyrically, ‘HOLE’ dives into the darkness behind the smile - the pain, isolation and hidden struggles that can exist beneath the smile and surface. As isolating as this feels at the moment, we hope ‘HOLE’ can make listeners feel less alone. You never really know what goes on behind closed doors.” SPEIRA
Though creating the music was described as a “fulfilling, yet demanding time”, SPEIRA have been immensely grateful for the opportunity to immerse themselves completely in the process.
“We got to truly live and breathe our music and log out. Though, we are all perfectionists when it comes to our art. Working with Paulie is always an absolute blessing, though. I swear he can see straight into my mind. When we all get into the studio together, it feels like pure flow. He is a true wizard.” SPEIRA, COCO SCOTT

PRAISE
"Safely bringing the rock back to Meanjin, and slowly spreading the love around Australia, SPEIRA are every bit of the Alt Rock resurrectors they claim to be."
IHEART RADIO AUSTRALIA
"Heavy and catchy: it’s SPEIRA with their latest release "Spend My Mind". If you're after politically charged lyrics, drum driven sounds, and a magnetic female led sound, this track is for you. With a tasty solo coming in at the 2.00 mark, with a catchy and QOTSA like bridge at 2:40, this was an absolute hit to have the opportunity to listen to!"
THE BRISBANE MUSIC SPEW ZINE
"Big 90s melodic grunge tones from SE Qld's SPEIRA…all the best and fun bits of the alt scene in Australia in the mid-90s...mosh-worthy."
