As well as opening the newly-crowned ‘Lemmy Stage’ at this year’s Download Festival, Royal Republic recently completed a sold out headline run in the UK as part of their ‘Weekend Man’ tour, with three venues being upgraded due to huge demand; this tour was in support of the Republic-ans latest studio album, ‘Weekend Man’, released in February 2016 via Spinefarm Records, the start of a new relationship with the label.
Crafted in Berlin’s Fuzz Factory Studios by producers Christian Neander & Michael Tibes, ‘Weekend Man’ (the album) sees the dapper Swedes delivering their customary rock thrills with even greater gusto – a bold statement of wild-eyed intent founded on big hooks, mountainous melodies and a signature sense of fun. Generally speaking, the aim is to put smiles on faces, but now an’ then a deeper, darker side peeps through, as displayed on the band’s video for ‘Any Given Sunday’ – an “epic tale of love, death & desperation” featuring legendary Swedish soap star Gunnar Mosen.
The clip for current UK single ‘Baby’ was selected for the Music Video Programme at the 24th Raindance Film Festival in London; you can view it here:
