    I'll weigh in and say Jack White/Muse hybrid.

    Yup. I heard a song on the radio the other day at thought it was Jack White (sounded exactly like him), but it turned out to be Royal Blood. I have heard good things about the band and am going to pick up the album. Can definitely see the European Muse influence with the as well.

    Agree with PJ-Soul though, from what I have heard their sound isn't super unique
    Maybe not the most unique sound ever, but I think it's impressive when you factor in there are only two guys making that noise! Also incredibly impressive live. That's what put them over the edge for me!
    No denying their talent. I have watched some footage of them live and they sound great. The loud rocking two piece isn't really a new thing though. White Stripes and Early Black Keys come to mind. If JW openly criticizes the Keys for ripping him off I can't imagine what he will say about these guys. That being said I am sure I will like the album when I get a chance to listen to it in its entirety.

    I thought the album was a really solid effort, I wish they'd expand their boundaries a little more more, though. Sometimes the album gets repetitive sound-wise, but it's a good listen for sure.

    Agreed. I find the bands listed in this thread much better. It was pretty interesting to hear that Jimmy Page thought they were the bees knees however.

    Wow
    I'd be stoked if Jimmy Page like my band!
    Great album I look forward to their next offering!

    Asked for the album for Christmas. Each time one of these songs comes up in the rotation on my mp3 player I think "this is pretty awesome".

    one of those bands that you discover and wish they already had 3 albums out. I listen to it once and think "I wish there was more!".

    Just bought their album off iTunes. $9.99 here in Australia which is pretty cheap. Most albums here are around $16-20.

    Boy they sound good. Dont buy many new acts. I also recently bought the Foo Fighters and Royal Blood is certainly getting my attention at the moment!

    Saw Royal Blood open for the Pixies in the fall, amazing live act. I think they are going to get a lot of attention when they're opening for the Foo Fighters this summer, I've got my tickets for Calgary in August and I'm really looking forward to that show!
