Royal Bangs
"Shut up,
Mom!"
Royal Bangs are a five-piece rock band from Knoxville,
Tennessee. We Breed Champions is the band's first
full-length offering on Audio Eagle Records. Angular,
dueling guitar melodies dance around manic, start-stop
rhythms and are crowned by the earnest,
pushed-to-the-breaking-point vocals of frontman Ryan
Schaeffer. Or whatever. They have been compared to
Modest Mouse, TV on the Radio, Architecture in
Helsinki, etc, etc. I don't know if what I do is worth the
trouble, sometimes. You know what I mean? Anyway,
it's a great album. Come on, seriously. We wouldn't
have put it out if we didn't think so. Somebody has to
agree with us, right?

Maybe that person is you! Take a chance, go for broke!
