I’m rocking out this morning to “Charis (Dream),” the powerful new single from Western Australia’s own Devon Street. Asher and London Milne, the brothers who lead the band, wrote this hard-hitting song in tribute to their cousin who sadly lost his battle with addiction.
“It’s always easier to offer advice from the outside. The real dream was for him to heal and become the person he truly wanted to be. While things didn’t turn out that way,” they explained. “’Charis (Dream)’ tells his story – and honours his struggle.”
Devon City recently signed a deal with Tone City Records, known for their work with DICE and Dear Sunday, and they’re current recording their sophomore EP. There’s also a national tour, including their first shows on the East Coast, in the works, so expect to hear a lot more from these guys in the coming months. Until then, local fans can catch them supporting Mitch Santiago and Nana’s Pie at the Indian Ocean Hotel on September 27.
