← Back | Musician | 6 Music Videos
Hailing from the seaside town of Brighton, England, Royal Blood, composed of Ben Thatcher and Mike Kerr, undeniably had a profound impact on the global music scene. Their unique style of blending rock, garage, and blues gave them their distinctive sound. With just two members - one on drums and the other playing a dangerously distorted electric bass, they recreated the profound thunder of hard rock without any guitar. Here's an intriguing fact: Mike Kerr's incredible skill of making his bass sound like a six-string guitar bewildered listeners, leading many to positively believe there was a hidden guitarist somewhere!
The band's music videos are nearly as creative and memorable as their music. Their 2014 debut video for the song "Out of the Black", blends live action and grim dark animation, depicting an unexpected alien invasion during a convenience store robbery - quite the unique concept! "Figure It Out," another track from their debut album, showcased the duo's performance in an interesting mix of red, blue and bare monochrome, highlighting the energy of the song perfectly. Let’s not forget “How Did We Get So Dark?”, which took an entire different direction, and almost reassured fans that these guys have a soft spot for bunny rabbits, setting it in a dystopic universe where women battle to the death over fuzzy bunnies in boxing rings. An odd concept, but most definitely a memorable one. Royal Blood's work constantly pushes boundaries and reinforces the idea that music videos, much like the songs they represent, can be powerful forms of storytelling.
