Royal blood lights out review8/16/2023 ![]() ![]() And, believe it or not, they were as well received as the songs from ‘Royal Blood’. It wasn’t only original album tracks that the band played throughout the night, but they also played the majority of their hits found upon their second album release. The Brighton band conquered the start of their set with the smash hit ‘Out of the Black’, transitioning into ‘Come Over’ for their second track, helping to show the crowd that their original album is still as good as everyone remembers it to be. Their music can be found on either Spotify or Apple Music, so check them out when you get to the chance to, especially if you are a dedicated Royal Blood fan, just like I am.Īfter The Mysterines had finished their hour set, it was time for the dynamic duo, also known as Ben Thatcher and Mike Kerr, to step on stage and show South Wales exactly what they are made of. If you haven’t heard of them or listened to them already, then I definitely recommend you do so. In my opinion, this supporting act definitely suited the heavy-rock genre that Royal Blood bring to the music industry, making them a perfect supporting act to these small warm-up shows. The band’s dynamic uses an independent female singer to dominate and undermine an all-male band, a construction of which Courtney Love would certainly approve of. ![]() The band almost reminded me of a Hole remake. Their short, but sweet set showed a sense of anger that younger audiences could definitely relate to, making it so symbolic of grunge rebellion. Their songs demonstrated restriction, frustration and a strong hatred linked towards teenage problems and issues. Interesting, right? Anyway, the three-piece band, consisting of members Lia Metacalfe, George Favager and Chrissy Moore, reminisced their music within the 1990s grunge genre. And as their Instagram bio states, the band pronounce their name in the same way that we say our favourite mouthwash brand. Just an hour later, the stage welcomed their first and only support act of the night, a girl-rock band from Liverpool, The Mysterines. Of course, doors opened at seven for this concert, welcoming a variety of different people who had come together to see one extremely talented rock band – myself included. ![]() And, when I say perfect, this concert was something found in relation this definition. It was an album of smooth, clean and passionate rock music, and because of this, I just had to see them live again.ĭespite this need to see them live, I did manage to miss their November 2017 tour, making their August 2019 tour a perfect time to see them play again. The single bassline and drum work that was composed for this album flowed so beautifully, it wasn’t a shock that it reached number one in the 2017 UK’s album charts. Each track was perfectly constructed and lyrically magnificent. I mean, it was without a doubt one of my favourite releases of 2017. The three year wait of this anticipated album was definitely worth it. ![]() However, the band managed to redeem themselves for me after the 2017 release of their second studio album, ‘How Did We Get So Dark?’. I was left a bit disappointed, especially after the release of ‘Royal Blood’, which published songs, like ‘Little Monster’ and ‘Out of The Black’, that were full of aggression and life. They were good, but they weren’t exactly amazing. This was actually four years ago during their 6:00pm mainstage set at Reading Festival. Now, if I have to be honest with you, I’ve only ever seen Royal Blood once. They definitely proved this right when I was fortunate enough to see them live on August 10 th at the Newport Centre during their Reading warm-up shows. After breaking into the music scene in 2014 with their highly nominated album, ‘Royal Blood’, which was released just a year after the duo had formed, Royal Blood have absolutely dominated the rock genre, showing original bands how simple, yet complex heavy music can be. ![]()
