I keep getting requests to hear more about Royal Family.
I can understand. They're one of Atlanta's premier rock bands.
And, they're fashioning out quite a cool niche for themselves.
Their music is totally original. They never try to sound like anyone else. The thing I love is how their sound has evolved over the years. They continue to be fresh AND relevant. When does that happen?
Frontman, Josh DeRosa was kind enough to give me some deet's as to what's happening RIGHT NOW with
Royal Family.
"We've just released our album, "Kick In, Kick Out". They feel this album most expresses who the band is as artists at this point in time.
DeRosa said, "We did a lot of things with this album that we would never have done in the past. Like the whole album was recorded live with minimal overdubs just to try and capture the vibe of the band instead of trying to be perfect."
The bands excitement over this release is apparent. They are proud of their accomplishments. But no where is the excitement over Royal Family more obvious than at a live show, watching the fans! There isn't a soul standing! The fans get nearly as involved as the band in making the show Rock.
KICK IN, KICK OUT, is a departure from Royal Family's last album, "Vintage Romance," which was largely a compilation of songs written when the band was named The Wild Cards.
The new music is soulful and deep. DeRosa's voice has deepened or matured. I'm not sure which, but the sound is true and captivating.
The album is available at:
CDBaby and Itunes. You'll want to purchase two - one to keep and one to share. They're that good!
