A Few Words on... Royal Blood - Royal Blood

Matt Helder T-shirt! Rapid rise to fame! Two people! Only bass and drums! 

Words and soundbytes you've undoubtedly heard if you've heard anything regarding the relatively newish Brighton rockers Royal Blood.

As I sit here, in the office, dosed up to the eyes on painkillers and caffeine and hearing the british summer come to it's inevitable end in August through blinds, I'm faced with yet another debut solo album from another well established rock frontman.
