Royal Republic's first ever gig was with Emergenza Festival a couple of years back. They started with us, now look at them! For the ones that know who they are, there is no point in telling that following their Download Festival performance in the UK and following the many international fopen air estivals from Germany to Australia, Royal Republic is the name on everybody's lips. Interscope records sign them, Warner Brothers are now fully behind them for their second album.
Everybody is talking about this band. The major label has put so much faith into this album that you see their faces plastered on every single rock magazine. There are literally dozens of pictures of the awsome foursome all over the world right at this moment that we know thay are about to explode. But don't let this fool you. It is not the work of good management or their major Label. These lads are part of one of the hardest working rock bands on the planet. Since their very beginning in Malmoe with their Émergenza competition gig being the first ever concert, they understood the importance of self promotion and constant gigging. By the time they reached the scandinavian finals after a series of gigs through us, they had every single label checking them out. They are a super, super live band. Lots of energy, great sing-along rock songs and the look that every single rocker wants.
We witnessed the birth of a monster and we helped shape and create a band that learned that hard work and fan-base building was what they needed to break through. After releasing the first Album and getting millions of youtube hits, they won national radio awards and MTV awards in their native Sweden. It is now time to take over the world with a series of concerts that will see the boys play every single continent. Their second Album was released in September with a cracking showcase at the Reeperbahn festival in Hamburg where we saw the boys rock 2000 crazy fans and a hundred Warner Brother officials (as well as dwarfing FUN, the American band. Honest). In the UK, they have ten straight gigs in some of the best rock venues. Then they are off to every single nation to prove that the tireless workers are super motivated. We knoew when we met them that they were hungry. We gave them lots of suggestions. We showed them the way. We explained the way it works....they took it all in and made a super project out of it. Now they are a fully blown bona fide professional rock band (with groupies).
Go check them out because If you miss them this time, next time they will be too big for you to say «I saw them in a thousand capacity venue. Iwas there close to the stage in the club».
Here's their tour dates!
We are superproud of you boys. Rock on!!
