New Katchafire song - 'COMMIT' onerpm.link/KatchafireCommit

Logan Bell: This song is about humans making a commitment to each other to choose life, communication, love and understanding, over all. A commitment to treating others how you would like to be treated. To have the empathy to look through another's eyes, and come to peaceful resolutions.... Imagine a future where we commit to avoid violence and war, at any cost?

If I had one wish, it would be for us all to get along. No matter our indifference!"

In the words of one of my favourite Bob Marley quotes-
"If puss and dog can get together, why can't we love one another?"

Almost time for Katchafire to drop their new track - Magic what she do.

They’ve covered a timeless song by Dave Dobbyn / DD Smash, it’s a beauty!

From lead singer, Logan Bell "I've always been a huge fan of Dave Dobbyn, and so I really wanted to cover this song. His lyrics are so poetic, and such a timeless ode to our wahine, the bringers of life, and the magic they do"

Track dropping on June 21 - pre-save here: https://onerpm.link/katchafiremagic
