Royal Blood: the debut album.

Brighton duo Royal Blood have been taking the world by storm ever since they emerged little over a year

ago. Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher are due to release their self-titled debut album next Monday (August 25th) but iTunes have teamed up with them to release an exclusive and limited stream of the highly anticipated album, available to listen to right now!

Ten songs of muscular riffs, heavy fills, mind-numbing reverb and head banging firecrackers, 'Royal Blood' is a powerhouse of an album. Even in it's quieter moments it still grabs you by the throat and gets you all riled up. It's a rarity to find a band that release a debut album as good as this, especially when they are less than two years young. The opening trio of songs are three which have been released as singles but are still as hard hitting on fiftieth play as they are on the first. The same can be said for 'Little Monster' but the stand out tracks on this album are the ones which have been hidden away from the limelight ready for this moment. Track after track oozes rock 'n' roll vigour and will easily soundtrack a thousand fans air guitar and home alone mosh sessions. Maybe I'm biased (they are a former band of the week) but to me, 'Royal Blood' is edge of the seat noise and is the offering of a band full of promise with a future that eclipses that of many well established bands. It's raw, it's relentless and it's ridiculous, what more could you want? This album surely means a full length UK tour too!? Fingers crossed but for now, 'Royal Blood' is getting the repeat treatment.

The debut self-titled album 'Royal Blood' is available to pre-order now and is due for release on August 25th.
Latest single 'Figure It Out' is available now.
