Search - The Royalty :: Lovers

Meet The Royalty: the new kings and queens of garage pop. The El Paso, Texas band s the latest retro act to dig up their parents Ronettes records and head to the garage, making their music essential listening for fans of the noisy breezy pop bands like Tennis and Best Coast. But The Royalty doesn t just have indie cred: they signed to label Victory Records in November, who sent them on a six-week recording trip to LA to make a new album. Their latest is How I Like Em a demo the band released to celebrate the signing. The track shows off their instrumental chops and singer Nicole Boudreau s soulful voice. We can hear why the band caught Victory s ears: lo-fi self titled, self-released debut album s cuts like Alexander and Honestly feature horn section blurts and a hard-riffing pace that s as ska influenced as it is 60 s obsessed.
