It was only January and there was a good chance The Royal They had already released one of the year’s best albums. Even though we are near the end of the year nothing has changed. From the colossally heavy beginning of Foreign Being through to the wildly energetic end, the Brooklyn based trio’s sophomore album is all smash hits. Power pop songs buried in heavy punk slime and surging post-hardcore deviations, The Royal They blur the lines between sweetness and primal fury, writing songs that are bright and hooky with enough muscle to shake the foundation of any DIY venue. There’s not a moment wasted throughout Foreign Being, a record that shifts between ominous and immediate with explosive grace.
