Voyager on why you should vote for them at Eurovision: “Wouldn’t you love a holiday in Australia?”
13.05.2023 - 15:57 / nme.com
Eurovision hopefuls Voyager have spoken to NME ahead of tonight’s final in Liverpool, arguing why Europe should vote for them and agreeing that New Zealand should be allowed to compete too.The Aussie rockers have been in the UK all week, wining themselves a place in the final after successfully making it through the semis with their track ‘Promise. Speaking to NME from backstage at the Song Contest, drummer Ash Doodkorte said that “the vibe around Liverpool is blue, yellow and electric”.“It’s been heckers, but in a good way,” he said.
“Every part of it has been magic. We’ve been talking about it for so long that actually getting to do it just feels like a dream come true.”Other than Germany’s Lord Of The Lost, Voyager are the only rock act to make it through to the final stages.
However, Doodkorte argued that “ours is a bit more of a power anthem, while there’s is a bit more dark.”Describing their power-rock sound as having “pretty far-reaching” influences” with “everyone coming from a different background”, Doodkorte explained how sounds ranging from “a lot of classical music but also a lot of stuff like Type-O Negative, Silverchair, nu-metal, Nirvana,” created this “big bombastic thing”.“To me, it’s all about hitting hard and heading home,” he said. “There are a lot of weird influences that seem to work well when we come together.” The band came close to competing last year, coming in second place to Sheldon Riley – winning the public vote with the prog metal bop ‘Dreamer’, but losing at the judging panel by just three points – in SBS’ televised Australia Decides contest (where artists compete for the chance to represent Australia at the main event).
