THE UNITED KINGDOM, THE LATEST TROUBLE COMING IS OUT RIGHT NOW,
PLEASE WELCOME THE ELECTRIC, MAGNIFICENT ROYAL BLOOD ARE ON
THE SHOW.
HOW ARE WE DOING, FELLAS?
I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE HERE, I'M DISA PINTED THAT YOU ARE NOT
HERE IN THE STUDIO BECAUSE WE LOVE IT ANY TIME YOU HAVE BEEN
HERE AND PLAYED FOR US.
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THIS ABOUT YOU.
YOU HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR A LONG TIME BUT ROYAL BLOOD WASN'T THE
FIRST BAND THAT YOU WERE IN TOGETHER.
HOW DID YOU MEET AND WHAT WAS THE OTHER BAND THAT YOU WERE IN?
>> THE LAST BAND THAT WE WERE IN WAS CALLED PLAY THE COUNTRY AND
WE BLENDED MANY GENRESES AND BEN WAS ACTUALLY THE GUITARIST IN
THE BAND.
I SCOUTED BEN AT A COLLEGE, MORE LIKE HIGH SCHOOL BAND NIGHT.
AND I WAS BESO THED WITH HIS DRUMMING BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO
KIND OF REPLACE THE DRUMMER WE HAD, SO HE ENDED UP PLAYING
GUITAR.
AND WE HAVE BEEN MAKING REALLY BAD MUSIC SINCE.
>> WE HAVEN'T STOPPED SINCE THEN, YEAH.
>> James: I MISS FLAVOR COUNTRY, I MISS THAT EARLY
FLAVOR COUNTRY SOUND IT WAS TERRIFIC.
BUT BEN, THE NEW SINGLE TROUBLE COMING, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT, IT
STILL FEELS LIKE A ROYAL BLOOD RECORD.
IT IT HAS GOT ALL THE THINGS THAT WE AS FANS LOOK FOR?
YOUR MUSIC YOU GO IT IS KIND OF DANCIER THAN NORMAL.
WHAT INSPIRED THIS NEW TWIST?
>> I THINK WE WANTED TO TAKE ROCK INCOMES ROLL TO GET YOU
DNSING A LITTLEK INSPIRED BY A LOT OF FRENCH DANCE MUSIC LIKE
JUSTINE, SOMETHING ALWAYS LOVED BUT HADN'T NECESSARILY COME OUT
ROCK MUSIC THAT YOU HAVE HEARD IN THE PAST.
>> WELL, FELLAS, STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
WE CAN'T WAIT TO INVITE YOU BACK WHEN ARE YOU ON THIS SIDE OF THE
POND AND THANKS FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE TONIGHT IT IS
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
