Hailing from Brighton, Royal Blood are a two-piece with Mike Kerr on bass and vocals, and Ben Thatcher on drums. For a two-piece, they have an incredible heavy, grungy sound.
Released on 25th August this year, Royal Blood released their self-titled debut album, which includes singles Out of the Black, Little Monster, Come On Over, Figure It Out and Ten Tonne Skeleton. Each song on the album has something different to offer: a different riff, a different drum beat, a different story. It’s one of those albums that you have on repeat until you know every single word, yet you still want to listen to it again.
The rock scene is huge and full of successful artists. But Royal Blood carved their way through the scene with their huge, heavy riffs that make up their songs and earned themselves a Mercury Prize nomination and two tracks of the day on BBC Radio 1.
So what’s next for Royal Blood? They’re playing venues across Europe over the next few months, with many of the UK shows sold out. Then, in July and August, they’re supporting the Foo Fighters on their North American tour.
So, if you’re wondering what the hype’s all about and your music taste swings on the heavier side, Come On Over and listen to Royal Blood– you’ll soon Figure it Out...
