UK rockers and one of THE hottest bands in the world right now Royal Blood rocked ‘n’ rolled their way through town recently, playing a couple of intimate shows and giving a handful of lucky Australians a taste of what all the fuss is about.
While they were here we were lucky enough to take them for a little spot of record shopping at Round & Round Records in Melbourne, a super cool diggin’ spot that used to be a Chinese restaurant and still retains a lot of the original decor, although you’re more likely to find ESG than MSG these days.
After having a dig through the crates Mike & Ben chose a couple of records each that have have influenced them as artists and waxed lyrical about each one.
The records in order of appearance are -
Queens Of The Stone Age - Self Titled
Jay-Z - The Black Album
Jermaine Jackson - Self Titled
Led Zeppelin - III
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Get your ears around Royal Blood’s debut EP Out Of The Black to hear what the above records helped shape… Physically or Digitally or better yet head on in to your local record store and buy it over the counter.
