You’d be hard pressed to find a more electric atmosphere pre-gig as that witnessed by Live4ever’s Gary Mather ahead of Royal Blood‘s visit to Blackpool on Friday (March 6th).

To coin a phrase, it was ‘electric’ and Ben Thatcher and Mike Kerr certainly delivered with a thundering bass heavy show which shook the old Empress Ballroom to its foundations.

Royal Blood’s self-titled debut album in enjoying a fresh lease of life after the duo won British Group at last month’s Brit Awards.

“A great record should always surpass a moment of silence, and if it doesn’t then alarm bells should be ringing – with Royal Blood’s debut the only thing ringing is ears,” our review reads.

“It’s what the sound of silence was invented for: to be filled, and in this instance brutally decimated. Here is a record put forth to not only give everyone what they expected, but actually what they had hoped. This is wish fulfillment time and it is everything anyone could have dreamed it could be.”
