Royal Blood are a British HardRock duo from Brighton. The band consists of Mike Kerr (vocals, bass) and Ben Thatcher (drums). You may notice that neither of them play guitar, that's because it's all done on a [[LeadBassist bass]]. They also don't use any session or touring musicians, so what you see is what you get. Formed in 2013, they got off to a quick start releasing their debut single "Out of the Black" in November. Later, they relased first EP ''Out of the Black'' in March 2014 to positive reviews, containing the TitleTrack and three other songs.
