This urge may or may not be familiar to you but I'm sure it manifests itself in various guises across everyday life. That impulse that makes you feel like you've got about twice the adrenaline you should do, a need to share that within a modicum of violence with your fellow man. And who do I have to thank for this? The answer is Royal Blood (http://royalbloodband.com).
I stumbled across the album really. I've signed up to Deezer and through recommendations it suggested that I should give it a listen - and I'm so glad I did. It's packed with punchy riffs, and the album reminds me of why I really like the garage and blues rock genre.
The album reminds of of a halfway house of BRMC and The Raconteurs - 2 hugely underrated bands. Complex but not complicated, if that makes any sense. There is a structure to the album which suggests they didn't really want continuity, each song says something different. Also, like some mythological attribute, for every track that ends another impulse to rock out is thrust upon you.
It was that good on second listen I wanted to turn it "up to 11" like Nigel Tufnel (Spinal Tap reference for those who aren't aware). Like any good two piece, they make lots of noise and don't try to do too much.
Favourite track on the album is probably Ten Tonne Skeleton but as that hasn't been released, here is a link to the video of the duo's most recent single release, Figure It Out:
Short but sweet post but honestly this album packs a real punch, or at least a wayward elbow in my mind mosh pit x
