The last time I saw Royal Bangs was backstage at Forecastle. I was trying to interview drummer Chris Rusk when Honus Honus from Man Man showed up. In a video, which will probably make its way onto the net, Honus and Chris dug at each other, were slightly homosexual, and made a veiled threat to kidnap someone. Fuck, I love this band. So fucking up the stoke, yo. ‘Bangs have a new album out it’s called Let it Beep and dudes are traveling across the country trying to drop panties with it.
Royal Bangs – “My Car is Haunted”
Tracks like this have been concert staples for the past couple months, but it’s gonna be slick to hear them get the studio treatment, because knowing Royal Bangs it’s gonna sound like 30 people are hopped up on corn liquor and shoved into a dilapidated building in Ohio during the recording.
