2008, Audio Eagle Records
Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Royal Bangs are a five-piece rock band from Knoxville, Tennessee. We Breed Champions is the band's first full-length offering on Audio Eagle Records. Angular, dueling guitar melodies dance around manic, start-stop rhythms and are crowned by the earnest, pushed-to-the-breaking-point vocals of frontman Ryan Schaeffer. Or whatever. They have been compared to Modest Mouse, TV on the Radio, Architecture in Helsinki, etc, etc.

Customer Reviews




matt whiteGreat group. Lead vocals live are quite pitchy though. Too much going on at once to be considered for serious indie-pop. I see these guys in town where they live, like I do too. I enjoy the show but never walk out humming the songs. which is a sign a song has stuck in my head. Like I said, mostly decent guys, though vocals very rough.




joe oThis whole album is awesome I love it! worth the money...
