Sasquatch 2015 Recap & Photos: Royal Blood Strut in The Sunshine

Jam-sprinting through the majority of last year’s killer eponymous LP, UK duo Royal Blood made the screaming most of their Sasquatch 2015 afternoon set last weekend. 

Rock needs to drop its silly-ass inferiority complex and realize that Dave Grohl isn’t the only one holding the paint can at the wall of modern music history. Chopping riffs, purposeful passion and potent sneer shape this Brighton bass-and-drum duo’s sound as much as their explosively infectious choruses, and the distinct lack of bullshit makes it perfectly sensible that these cats are the most breathlessly deified new UK rock outfit we’ve seen in a decade.

They lashed “Out of The Black” with a style as ferociously seductive as the lustchild of Refused and Japandroids. “Come On Over” and “Figure It Out” undoubtedly induced some holiday weekend hospital bills. But you buy the ticket, you take the goddamn ride. Check out a gallery from their performance below.
