Today’s Band To Know is Blacklist Royals and they are premiering a video for their song, Righteous Child which is off their new album, Die Young With Me. The album was released on June 10th via Krian Music Group/UMG and has received rave reviews so far. You can pick it up on iTunes here: http://bit.ly/1mTWUHt. Check out their official music video for Righteous Child here:
The video was directed, produced and edited by Doot.doot, and filmed in Nashville, TN, where the band resides currently. Blacklist Royals is composed of twin brothers, Nat and Rob Rufus, the album is a personal account of a childhood spent battling cancer, the album unfolds as a fluid thing, exploring new directions both sonically and lyrically with candor and heart like never before.
“It was supposed to sound like two brothers in a room playing music together,” Nat says. “That’s what the whole record is about – two brothers who stand side by side and don’t give up. I think that’s something anyone can relate to regardless of his or her specific struggle. The record is about this really heavy idea. It’s like opening a diary for everyone to read.”
It is a great song and the entire album is a must have! The honesty that pours from their songs is amazing and a couple of my favorites on the album are Hearts on Fire and the intense 26 and Gone. These two brothers bleed the passion through their music and bring it to life in such a way that it has to be heard. You will fall in love with this album as much as I have.
Blacklist Royals will be performing at select Warped Tour dates. I was so hoping to see California on there but maybe soon they will make it out this way. Check out the Warped Tour dates below:
