Royal Bangs

Finally, a new band that sounds like they might be having a little bit of fun making records. The band in question are Knoxville, TN’s Royal Bangs.

Another from City Slang’s reliable roster, Royal Bangs are basically just a bunch of geeks, and everyone knows that geeks generally have the most fun. It’s the cool kids that earn nothing and spend their days writing bitchy rhyming couplets, while the geeks own global corporations and sit on enough cash to convince Elvis that living again might actually be an option.

There’s a geeky precision to Let It Beep’s scuzzy slices of indie-funk. The use of computers is perfectly weighted, giving the album contemporary cool and little in the way of excess fat. And you’ll wear a Cheshire Cat grin all the way through it, just like the band did making it. This will sneak into a few 2009 top 100’s, methinks.
