Trouble’s ComingRoyal Blood
Hailing from Brighton, England, Royal Blood are a bass-and-drums duo—the smallest lineup for a rock band—who’ve won wide acclaim by cranking out a loud, distinctive rock sound brimming with creativity.
Their music feels like rock ’n’ roll’s primal energy exploding, the kind that makes you want to toss your head and start dancing the moment you hear it.
Their 2020 track Trouble’s Coming takes the methodologies of electronic acts they love—like Daft Punk and Justice—and filters them through the Royal Blood lens, shaping an even more danceable beat than before.
It’s got a highly addictive dance groove, a thick bass line, drums that lock into off-beat, dance-ready rhythms, and melodies delivered with sultry falsetto—absolutely stellar.
If you want a pick-me-up from a danceable rock song—rather than an electro beat—this one comes highly recommended!
