Two dudes from Glasgow with a penchant for gutsy, euphoric riffs. What’s not to like?
‘Plain Ol’ Genius’ has a White Stripes, White Blood Cells-era riff chock full of longing. Alongside a killer solo and football fan chorus, it’s the holy trinity. ‘Dirty Silver’ owns a respectively excitable bass line and another necessary howling solo. ‘Those Days’ is the best parts of The Black Keys and a nonchalantly sexy aurora rolled into one.
If life was fair, Franklin would be receiving the recognition Royal Blood don’t deserve.
