About Royal Republic
Royal Republic is a Swedish rock band from Malmö. The band is currently signed to Universal Music and managed by Odyssey Music Network.
Royal Republic was founded in 2007. Their first album, We Are the Royal, was recorded under the supervision of Swedish producer Anders Hallbäck in Malmö. The album was mixed at ToyTown Studios and completed with the help of Stefan Glaumann. On 6 August 2009, the record was released in Sweden and received wide acclaim from critics, fans and radio stations.
All three singles reached number 1 on Bandit Rock's Most-Wanted-List. Three of the album's songs, Full Steam Spacemachine, I Must Be Out of My Mind, and 21st Century Gentleman, were featured on the soundtrack of F1 2011. Tommy-Gun also reached first place on the MTV Rocks charts. Royal Republic gained success in Germany through a collective tour with the Donots.
On 24 August 2012 the band released their second album titled Save the Nation. It was recorded by Michael Ilbert at Hansa Studio 1 and Hansa Mix Room. Tom Coyne mastered the record at Sterling Sound in New York City. Save the Nation was widely critically acclaimed and resulted in a better chart position than its predecessor We are the Royal. The release of the album was followed by concerts in Australia, Great Britain, Germany, France and the Benelux countries. Through the support of bands like Social Distortion, The Subways, Die Toten Hosen and blink-182 the band earned major recognition.
In addition, Royal Republic played in 2013 at the tradition-rich German festivals Rock am Ring and Rock im Park.
In 2014 Royal Republic turned towards acoustic music. On 28 March the Swedes released Royal Republic and the Nosebreakers, on which songs from the previous albums We Are the Royal and Save the Nation were re-interpreted in an acoustic and country-like way. For the realization of the project, Adam Grahn, Hannes Irengard, Jonas Almén and Per Andreasson were assisted by studio musicians Daniel Olsson, Anders Svensson and Oskar Appelqvist. The latter even joined the band on the same tour.
All songs except This Means War were recorded at the Sunnana Studio by Markus Nilsson. They were largely mixed by Michael Illbert, who already mixed the previous record, at the Hansa Mix Room. This time the mastering was carried out at Chartmakers by Svante Forsbäck. The accompanying tour for this acoustic album consisted of ten dates, which led the band to Germany, France, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, and Sweden.
