http://www.accessroyale.com/
Access Royale are an eclectic indie rock band hailing from Washington DC. Formed from a mutual love of Muse, Radiohead, Vampire Weekend and MGMT, the band discovered each other via Craigslist in early 2011, and soon found themselves flying west to LA to shoot their first music video.
The band’s debut album, City Of Paradigm, is slated for a May 17th, 2012 release in the U.K./ Europe & U.S., and is bursting with uplifting messages of self-discovery and freedom. The opening track transcends genre boundaries, exploding with an intense percussion and guitar attack, before setting the tone for the rest of the album with a masterful counterplay between Charles Maven (vocals and keyboards), Vee Styles (vocals and guitar) and Robzie Rhodes (drums) that’s reminiscent of the best of Pavement and Foo Fighters.
