Royal Blood launched out of Worthing, England, in 2011 with a sound that defied their stripped-down lineup. The duo — consisting of Mike Kerr on vocals and bass guitar and Ben Thatcher on drums — built their reputation not on a traditional rock ensemble, but on innovation, aggression, and an unmistakably thick sound crafted almost entirely from bass guitar and effects. Kerr’s unique playing technique, which simulates both guitar and bass tones simultaneously, helped carve out an identity that set them apart in the modern rock landscape. Their chemistry, both musically and onstage, quickly led to a buzz in the UK scene before major industry players took notice.

Before Royal Blood officially formed, Kerr and Thatcher had played together in earlier projects, but it wasn’t until the band was stripped down to just the two of them that things began to click. They signed with Warner Chappell Music in 2013, and momentum built rapidly after Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders wore a Royal Blood T-shirt at Glastonbury — a moment that helped catapult their name into mainstream conversation. Their self-titled debut album Royal Blood was released in 2014 and immediately caught fire. Driven by tracks like “Out of the Black,” “Come On Over,” and “Figure It Out,” the record became the fastest-selling British rock debut in three years and landed at number one on the UK Albums Chart.

Their sophomore release, How Did We Get So Dark?, arrived in 2017 and debuted at number one in the UK, solidifying the band’s status as one of Britain’s most vital new rock acts. With songs like “Lights Out” and “I Only Lie When I Love You,” Royal Blood continued to evolve their sound while maintaining the pounding energy and tight arrangements that defined their first album. Their live performances grew more ambitious as they began playing larger venues and festival stages across Europe and North America. Their dynamic presence on stage — Kerr’s snarling vocals and Thatcher’s relentless drumming — became just as synonymous with their brand as their recorded output.

In 2021, the band released their third studio album Typhoons, which marked a notable stylistic pivot. Infused with dance-rock, electronic textures, and disco grooves, the record introduced a new rhythmic sensibility while preserving the heaviness that fans expected. Singles such as “Trouble’s Coming,” “Boilermaker,” and the title track showed that Royal Blood were not afraid to experiment. Most of the album was self-produced, with contributions from Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme on “Boilermaker,” adding to the album’s layered intensity. The shift earned critical praise and commercial success, further proving the band’s ability to stay fresh without compromising identity.

Their fourth studio album, Back to the Water Below, was released in 2023. This time, the band handled production entirely on their own. The album’s lead single, “Mountains at Midnight,” continued their streak of delivering high-octane rock anthems, but also emphasized a return to more stripped-back, guitar-driven territory. Their supporting role on Muse’s Will of the People tour, along with their own headlining shows, reaffirmed their position as a dominant force in contemporary rock — particularly impressive given their two-man configuration.

Royal Blood’s impact goes beyond their recordings. In 2015, they received the Brit Award for Best British Group, presented to them by none other than Jimmy Page — a symbolic moment recognizing their place in the lineage of great British rock duos and bands. Over the course of their career, they’ve been nominated for multiple NME and Q Awards and have repeatedly topped rock radio charts across Europe and the U.S. Their contribution to The Metallica Blacklist project in 2021, covering “Sad But True,” demonstrated their respect within the global rock community, and their ability to reinterpret legacy tracks with their own sonic signature.

Outside of music, Royal Blood has largely kept a low profile, allowing their albums and performances to define them. But their influence has been felt among emerging musicians looking to redefine what a two-piece band can do. Their minimalist setup never limited their ambition — in fact, it forced them to push harder, dig deeper, and innovate in ways most traditional rock outfits never had to. They continue to be admired for their ability to evolve album after album without diluting their original intensity, a rare feat in today’s genre-hopping music landscape.
