Royal Blood

Riff-heavy alt-rock duo Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher are Royal Blood from Brighton. Their explosive guitar and drums sound has inevitably likened them to the White Stripes, along with Queens of the Stone Age. The boys have picked up a slew of awards, perhaps most notably winning 'Best British Group' at the 2015 Brit Awards, along with winning both 'Best Live Act' from Q Magazine and 'Best Live Band' from the NME.
