Royal Republic was formed in 2007 in Sweden. Since then, they’ve been a fixture on my radio playlists. Underwear, Everybody Wants To Be An Astronaut, When I See You Dance With Another, Baby, Uh Huh, Kung Fu Lovin’… I played them a lot (and loud!).

Fireman And Dancer is the band’s addictive new single. Another king-sized tune with riffy guitars, this time complete with a saxophone and a vocal flanger effect that make you wish the 80’s had never left the building. Looking forward to their forthcoming album Club Majesty!
