#LIGHTS OUT ROYAL BLOOD DOWNLOAD#
Royal Blood performed at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas in March 2014 at Liverpool Sound City festival and at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Glasgow in May and at Download Festival and Glastonbury Festival in June. The band also released a four-track EP Out of the Black, featuring "Out of the Black", "Little Monster", "Come On Over" and "Hole" on 11 March 2014 in North America. Royal Blood released their second single, " Little Monster", on 11 February 2014. In December 2013, Royal Blood were nominated for BBC Sound of 2014. In November 2013, it was announced that Royal Blood would be supporting Arctic Monkeys for two Finsbury Park shows in May 2014. On 11 November 2013, Royal Blood released their official debut single, " Out of the Black", which came with the B-side of the re-recorded "Come On Over". In 2013, Arctic Monkeys' drummer Matt Helders was seen wearing a Royal Blood shirt during Arctic Monkeys' performance at Glastonbury Festival, boosting interest in the band. They joined the same management company as the band Arctic Monkeys. The band developed their music in the studios of Brighton Electric, and it was during this time that they were signed by Warner Chappell Music. Initially, the new duo "couldn't get a gig in Worthing for months" and "ended up just playing a lot of open-mic nights with acoustic singer-songwriters". He was picked up at the airport by Thatcher, and the two decided to continue under the Royal Blood name together with Thatcher replacing Swan on drums.
Kerr and Swan played around the Brisbane and Gold Coast area, before Kerr eventually decided to return to Worthing, ending this incarnation of the band. The first single, "Leaving", premiered on Australian radio station Triple J in 2012 Kerr and Thatcher later recorded a new version of the song and renamed it " Come On Over". They relocated to Swan's home country of Australia, where they recorded an EP in Brisbane. Dennis left in early 2012, leading the band to discover what is now their signature sound, as Kerr's unique bass playing style (which sees him using various effects pedals and amps to make his bass guitar sound like an electric guitar and bass guitar at the same time) became the main focus. The band were initially a trio consisting of Kerr on vocals and bass, Joe Dennis on guitar, and Matt Swan on drums. Royal Blood formed in Worthing in March 2011, after Kerr met original drummer Matt Swan. They first met around 2005 when they were teenagers for a brief period, they were part of the same four-piece band called Flavour Country, for which Kerr was the keyboardist and keytarist. Royal Blood consists of vocalist and bassist Mike Kerr (born 19 June 1990) from Worthing and drummer Ben Thatcher (born 12 February 1988) from Rustington.
