ROYAL BLOOD.
Already this British pair have been attracting
grandiose comparisons. Some detect traces of
early Pixies in their surging garage rock while to
others their bluesy racket marks them as heirs to
Led Zeppelin. They certainly don't lack for big-name
cheerleaders, with Arctic Monkeys among those on
the record discussing the duo's genius (they open
the Monkeys’ London shows in May). They've also
been likened to Black Keys and White Stripes –
comparisons which come as little surprise to singer
Mike Kerr.
"The first thing you do when you hear something
is you want to compare it," he said last year. "You
want a reference point. We’re obviously going to
get compared to two-pieces because the nature of
being a two-piece is that you're all kind of trying to
do something similar. It’s funny though, because
there are other comparisons which haven’t been said
which surprise me. Them Crooked Vultures. That’s
a huge, huge influence for us. And The Raconteurs,
and Foo Fighters… just big rock bands that we get
obsessed with.”
