Clay Joule “REALM”

For a country to response to their people’s demand, “REALM” also applauses its open-mindedness. With fierce, unapologetic snare drums that march proudly, heartfelt vocals echoing the positive aspect of protests, and spirited bagpipes that envision a borderless message that resonates with people around the world, “REALM” is at the heart of change.
