Last week, we were discussing the upcoming release of "Royal Blood", the debut full album from British duo Royal Blood. The album is out now, and it's everything I expected - with advance apologies to Jack White...Jack, buddy, don't accuse Royal Blood of ripping off your sound. Because The Black Keys they ain't. And they don't. They take the sparse, blues-rock sound you're so fond of to a totally different place. A place that those fainter-of-heart would fear to explore. But, these two dive right in, banging, and beating, and wailing...and dammit, it's a beautiful noise!

As your attorney, I advise you to pick up Royal Blood more sooner than later. Before the dozens of wanna-be 'Bloods' starting watering down the potent formula and taking all the fun out of it. Because you know it's going to happen. Probably more sooner than later.

With that said, suck down Part Two of the "Making of Royal Blood". And when these guys are headlining arenas and acting like douchebags, you can say "I remember when they were cool". Because you know you will.
