Perth alt-metal band Voyager, who will characterize Australia at this yr’s Eurovision international track contest, have been celebrating their vibrant, theatrical facet for twenty-four years. They even embrace the flashiness of traditional glam-rock, even when performing their heaviest and most brooding numbers. Within the early 2010s, concertgoers began suggesting the band strive Eurovision. In 2015, Voyager launched a social marketing campaign for Eurovision with “Hyperventilating”. Regardless that they got here in second place within the televised Australia Decides contest final yr, they haven’t been deterred. With their kaleidoscopic synth-pop belter “Promise”, a track custom-built for Eurovision, the band hopes to propel Australia’s heavy music tradition into the worldwide zeitgeist. Eurovision begins on Could 9 with the grand ultimate on Could 14. Catch Voyager within the semi-final on Friday Could 12 at 5am AEST, with a primetime broadcast at 7.30pm.
