Royal Blood have given an update on the follow-up to their debut album and how hard it is recording in the back of their tour bus.
Speaking to NME, the Brighton duo described how they constructed a makeshift studio in the back of their tour bus. "I built a studio in the back of our bus,” frontman Mike Kerr said: “It’s very hard to write when everything keeps falling over because the driver’s taken a massive corner. It was our writing den - we’d have Clint Eastwood movies playing with the volume down."
The band have also given insight into how the new record might sound saying that they: "don't need to reinvent the wheel" and suggesting that they'll be operating on a similar budget and with similar instruments to the debut record.
In terms of a release date, Kerr was very non-specific with his response. The album will be released "when it sounds amazing", you can interpret that according to how much faith you have in Royal Blood.

Royal Blood recently played the show of their careers, supporting Foo Fighters and Iggy Pop at the Milton Keynes Bowl proving that even with only one album under their belts, they can still dominate a stadium.
At Reading and Leeds, Royal Blood debuted a new track 'Hook, Line and Sinker' which is maybe one of the aforementioned tracks workshopped in the back of the band's bus, to the great pleasure of the driver, we imagine.
