![]() Royal Blood are a band that know how to rock. ![]() Raucous where needed but still featuring those new twists of dance-floor grooves in Million in One and Mad Visions, it is the next strongest tale for the story of Royal Blood.Royal Blood return with their third studio album, Typhoons, a rock-fuelled rollercoaster of big riffs, big energy, and irresistible grooves. The noteworthy guitar/bass combo and the beautifully simplistic AC-DC-inspired drumming is still prominent and won’t ever dissipate, of course.īut, Typhoons shows us a side to the Brighton duo we haven’t really seen as of yet. Mike’s tales of struggle are littered throughout this album with Oblivion discussing losing his way with “fire in his lungs” and the demons that bring with bad habits in Who Needs Friends. Especially how big the band had gotten with their elemental nature and their dark presence in the past – – but the album has a flair of creativity that honestly was not expected from me. With it, comes a redeeming of a band once lost, a splash of all-important colour and and still, a rampant discography listing once again that will no doubt shake the timbers of the arenas they are planning on performing in the Spring of next year.Īt first, I had my doubts and fears of a band possibly resorting to the comforts of their softer side. Life is hard when you’re losing, nothing easy’s worth doing That’s why you’re one in a million and one After the befalls of what a rock ‘n’ roll life bought him with alcohol, Mike started on the road to recovery – all to find his sense of purpose again in writing music. While this may create some disappointment among fans as they wish for more of the same, Typhoons is a true tale of rising from your own self-destruction from “flying too close to the sun.” An excess of redemption and solace, Typhoons packs the punch in another twisting tale for this Brighton band. Who said elements of Daft Punk would work so well with the sounds of Royal Blood, eh?Īlthough not featuring the same angst and bitter troubles we saw on the two albums prior, Typhoons brings a certain shine to their musical palette of still finding ways to create anthem-pleasers, but not having to always resort to the moods of their eponymous debut. ![]() ![]() Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher: Royal Blood After a 4 year hiatus from their rampant, aptly-named follow-up of How Did We Get So Dark? and Mike’s rise from his struggle with the rock ‘n’ roll life of alcohol addiction … they blow off the cobwebs …let a little light in … and develop a fresh take on delectable dance-floor grooves with their highly anticipated third album, Typhoons. ![]()
