Manchester, England, one of those post-industrial towns that still finds meaning in difficulty, sends us gritty rock music in the form of Secret Pilot and their instantly memorable single, "Lucy". The vocals recall what US Royalty did so well in 2008 or early Kings Of Leon, that approachable, gravel-toned pop - this version with a vague sensation that the time signature has been lifted from a
" Equestrian ," the haunting track from local stalwarts U.S. Royalty, is easily our most blogged song in the last 12 months, and possibly of all time-with the exception of "Sleepyhead" because, well... come on . Given this fact, one may wonder why we are again discussing it. Enter Micah Vellian , a DJ/producer and yet another resident of our nation's capital. His remix of "Equestrian" maintains the swagger of the original track while upgrading the guitars to dance floor-ready synths and a smooth bass track. According to Vellian , the single felt "really anthemic and I [...]

The first round of artists for this year's CMJ Music Marathon in NYC were just announced . The music and film festival is set for October 18-22 all around NYC. I still haven't made it out this festival but tons of indie rockers cut their teeth in NYC around this time of year and around the CMJ events. Plus it's a solid way for tons of folks in the industry to get together and finally meet each other face to face as opposed to electronic correspondence only. Maybe I'll make [...]

Love, love, love the sound on this one. Anthemic, driving vocals support a vibrant sound that is gutsy and energetic. I don't really know what else to say about these guys. I hope you like them as much as I do. Check out their Homepage to purchase Mirrors, as well as to inquire further about one of your favorite new bands... Take a listen to "Equestrian".

It's been a while since U.S. Royalty have played a show in DC proper. They rocked the Sweetlife Festival pretty hard in May (as documented above) and they recently did a national tour with Third Eye Blind. It feels just about right for them to be finding their way back to the 9:30 Club for a show this Friday night with True Womanhood and Birdlips . We've got one pair of tickets to giveaway to the show. In the comments section leave your favorite member of the British Royal Family - [...]
Throwing his two cents in on hip hop's current obsession with titling lushed-out songs celebrating one's finally making it into the "champagne life" after automobiles (better known as about half of Rick Ross' catalog), D.C.-area up-and-comer Phil Ade justifies his current "One 2 Watch" status with "Monte Carlo Dreams", a highlight offering from his new A Different World mixtape. Set adrift to producer Sunny Norway 's gorgeously grand sampling of (fellow D.C. act) U.S. Royalty's Fleetwood Mac-indebted "Monte Carlo" , "Dreams" finds Ade hitting the road to [...]
Last week I posted twelve of my recent favourite tracks , seven of which were by Californians, earning the mixtape the name California Sunrise . It varied from electropop to reggae and soca-infused funk and there's an equal variety to be found in part 2 of the Summer mixtape series. If part 1 was the build-up, then part 2 is the break-down. I've tried to stack this mix with a few more mellow jams on the back-end, to pair with those inevitable late-July lamentations of the "summer's half over already!" variety. Youth Lagoon is a fantastic band name [...]

Thankful for stumbling on this band's debut album Mirrors (Jan 2011); they're called U.S. Royalty and one of their best tracks is titled "Vacation Vacation." All us proud Americans are doing something with someone this three day weekend to celebrate our independence as a nation. Let the Band of Horses' folk meets The Killers' echoing riffs and a touch of Two Door Cinema Club's post-punk rock fill your speakerbox. U.S. Royalty - "Vacation Vacation" U.S. Royalty - "Monte Carlo" [...]

Fav Tracks Here in America we celebrate the only way we know how, partying...hard. So let's kick off Memorial Day weekend right with some stellar tunes. From the viral sensation Foster the People, to the electro-goodness of Mitzi and Niva, to the contagious indie rock of US Royalty and Walk the Moon, you'll be partying [...]
Wow. What a day. Emma, Mike and I arrive at the Merriweather Post Pavilion just as U.S. Royalty begins to perform. Hailing from DC, they have quite a stage presence. The lead singer wore some sort of fur shirt and another member wore red, white and blue striped pants. It felt very 1970's rock and roll. They have a nice style of blues rock. Their album just came out in January and they've gotten
On their first full-length release - titled Mirrors - Washington D.C. up-and-comers U.S. Royalty piece a musical mosaic over the course of ten songs. Most early reviews of the album point to the Americana element, but the band manages to include sections of skinny tie '80s themes, cutting hook-based rock and hushed ballads. The songs don't necessarily don't flow per se, but rather serve as almost point-counterpoint, giving the record a appeal in getting to know both the songs as well as the song [...]
Gooooooood Morning Viet Nam! Or should I say blogosphere. After six weeks of being away, The POP! Stereo has returned to make your life a bit more tolerable. And while that may be, you might be wondering what the hell took you so long. That's a long story that involves, hospitals, doctors, PET scans, CAT Scans, blood work and the like. This all led to me being on Family Medical Leave for almost three months and while I was posting during that time, I new at the drop of a hat I would have to return to care for my [...]
