Plenty of time for U.S. Royalty's new album Mirrors. It started with a listen to Monte Carlo, which is an ace track and so I hunted for the album. Like quite a few other singles I've recently enjoyed, when I've downloaded the album, it has been a disappointment. But this was the exception. I love this album. Firstly, Equestrian the most similar sounding song to Monte Carlo can be acquired here. Hollywood Hollows is a bit more upbeat and rock-like, reminding me a lot of Band of Skulls. You also have to listen to Giving Up the Ghost, which has a distinct Creedence Clearwater Revival Fortunate Son feel to it - love it. Vacation Vacation is also a great track with enough stick on stick percussion to get you well into the beat, while still holding a mellow "Whooohooo hoo hoo" quality. Those are just the songs sticking out to me now, but I could go through every song with noted praise. If you like the two songs available for download on this post, then the whole album is a must.
As an afterthought, just for background info, the band is from Washington DC and was formed in 2008. They are still unsigned and Mirrors was released on January 25th of this year. The band is made of singer John Thornley, guitarist Paul Thornley, bassist Jacob Michael, and drummer Luke Adams. Is it just me or are family bands a trend... Consider the all-family Kings of Leon and yesterdays post on Phoenix...
U.S. Royalty - Monte Carlo
