For anyone who has not heard them they are an English two-piece featuring drums bass and vocals. They have only been together a little more than a year. Jimmy Page is now heaping praise on them -



Led Zep hero says two-piece have taken rock "up a few notches"


Jimmy Page has praised Royal Blood for taking the rock genre "up a few notches."


The Led Zeppelin guitarist is a fan of the English two-piece and says he was blown away by their energy when he saw them perform in New York earlier this year.

Page tells the NME: "I went to hear them in New York. They were fantastic. Absolutely riveting. They're such fine musicians. It's music of tremendous quality.

"However long the set was, I could have heard twice as much. Their album has taken the genre up a serious few notches. It's so refreshing to hear, because they play with the spirit of the things that have preceded them, but you can hear they're going to take rock into a new realm – if they're not already doing that."

Royal Blood – singer/bassist Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher – released their self-titled debut album in August.

Nice one Jimmy

I don't hear anything special about them. Nothing stands out about those songs I just listened to.

But you don't like anything post 80s do you

Ha...someone's keeping tabs on my musical tastes.

I like some stuff post 80s but most of it isn't hard rock. Honestly, all these bands sound the same to me. I even tried to listen to Black Stone Cherry and I wasn't impressed with them either. They all sound like different versions of Nickelback.
