More about: Royal Blood

Rising rock duo Royal Blood have announced details of their hotly-anticipated debut album. See the artwork above and album trailer below. 

The band, who made it onto the BBC Sound of 2014, have been winning over fans and critics through their blistering live shows and a string of breakthrough singles. 

Featuring the singles 'Little Monster' and 'Come On Over', their self-titled debut album will be released on 25 August - just after their appearance at Reading and Leeds festival. Described as 'a mixture of anguished vocals, ferocious drumming and bass that provides intricate detail as well as a rumble of rhythm', the LP also features some pretty cool artwork by Dan Hillier.

Speaking to Gigwise ahead earlier this year, Royal Blood frontman Mike Kerr said that he was surprised by their runaway success: "With our band we found out that what we were doing didn't fit in.

"Everything on the radio and all of the music that was coming out was not riff-based rock, so we were surprised when we had interest from the music industry and we're still surprised that we're even on the radio to be honest with you."

Royal Blood will be performing at Glastonbury  on 28 June, before also playing at Castlefield Bowl as support to The Pixies on 10 July, T in the Park on 11 July , Marlay Park, Dublin as support to Arctic Monkeys on 12 July, and Reading and Leeds festival over August Bank Holiday weekend.
