Royal Blood is a British rock duo band formed in Brighton in 2012. Their sound is rooted in modern garage rock and blues rock.

The band, composed of bassist/singer Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher, was formed in Worthing in 2013. They gained attention when Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders was seen supporting them at Glastonbury Festival before the release of their first single. In November 2013, Royal Blood released their debut single "Out of the Black". They went on to support Arctic Monkeys for two shows and were nominated for BBC Sound of 2014.

Following the success of their first single, Royal Blood released "Little Monster" and a four-track EP featuring their previous songs. Their self-titled debut album was released in August 2014. The band performed at various festivals including South by Southwest, Liverpool Sound City, Download Festival, and Glastonbury Festival. They continue to captivate audiences with their energetic performances.

Eagerly anticipated third album Typhoons. When Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher sat down to talk about making a new album, they knew what they wanted to achieve. It involved a conscious return to their roots, back when they had made music that was influenced by Daft Punk, Justice, and Philippe Zdar of Cassius. It also called for a similar back-to-basics approach to what had made their self-titled debut album so thrilling, visceral and original.

“We sort of stumbled on this sound, and it was immediately fun to play,” recalls Kerr. “That’s what sparked the creativity on the new album, the chasing of that feeling. It’s weird, though - if you think back to ‘Figure it Out’, it kind of contains the embryo of this album. We realised that we didn’t have to completely destroy what we’d created so far; we just had to shift it, change it. On paper, it’s a small reinvention. But when you hear it, it sounds so fresh.”
