I’ve been meaning to write about the Royalty for a while now; they sent me a very polite email a few weeks ago, and when I gave them a listen I was really taken with what I heard.

They come from El Paso, Texas, though they have quite a strong UK-indie sound, with a lot of northern soul, as Mrs. 17 Seconds pointed out last night. The band are Nicole Smith, Jesus Apodaca, Daniel Marin, Will Duagherty, and Shane Robles.

I can’t find out much more than this – only to say that if you love good music, give this a listen. You won’t regret it. So I’m just oing to let the music do the talking, as it were.
