While safety first is becoming an increasingly mundane and almost conformist part of the global music scene, there are bands out there who refuse to yield, preferring to allow their natural creativity dictate the terms of music rather than cater to the whims of the masses.
Sydney music machine Reliqa are one of the bands.
Despite their relative youth in the cogs of the unforgiving music scene, Reliqa continue to push the boundaries of the acceptable parameters of modern music. Their May debut album Secrets Of The Future was a breath of fresh air - delivered with the subtlety of a sledgehammer - laying the platform for a sustained assault on the music world based on self belief and conviction rather than expectation.
The band are content to ride a steady wave to success, paying their dues through headlining tours of their own, as well as a multitude of high profile international support to help build a solid fan base. That eye on the future continues this weekend as Reliqa rub shoulders with bands such as Korn, Mastodon, Kerry King and Billy Corgan as part of Good Things 2024.
HEAVY caught up with vocalist Monique Pym ahead of Reliqa's first show.
