如果乐队名The Royal Concept对你来说听上去有些陌生的话,你也一定听过On Our Way这首大金曲。没错,这首你在《Glee》里让你跟着抖腿,在《FIFA 14》里陪你拿下每一场比赛的歌,就是瑞典indie乐团The Royal Concept的代表作。
经由独立发行的热门单曲"D-D-Dance",混合Phoenix式阳光流行乐和电子元素的斯德哥尔摩indie舞曲摇滚乐团the Royal Concept(原名The Concept)在全世界范围内一炮而红,成员包括主唱兼吉他手David Larson,主音吉他手Filip Bekic,贝斯手Magnus Robert和鼓手Frans Povel。瑞典全国性电台P3对他们力推之后,他们如沐春光的气质,动感的摇摆节奏和满溢的活力使他们从瑞典的现场演出中脱颖而出,在2011年夏天的爱与和平音乐节上轰动全场。
2012年,乐队正式更名为The Royal Concept,与Lava唱片签约并于六月推出了同名专辑。同时发行了两支单曲"World on Fire" 和 "Naked and Dumb",并成为了秋季The Wombats美国巡演的嘉宾乐队。单曲"Goldrushed"收录于FIFA 13原声带和云斯顿赛车:内线(同时收录"In The End")。单曲"World on Fire"收录于MLB 13: The Show原声带。
2013年,乐队发行了单曲"On Our Way"并公布首张专辑标题Goldrushed,随后进行了北美巡演。单曲"On Our Way"收录于EA Sports的游戏FIFA 14中,是玩家们最喜爱的歌曲之一。美剧欢乐合唱团Glee也于第五季"The End of Twerk"一集中翻唱了这首歌曲,还出现在MTV剧集Big Tips Texas, Generation Cryo 和Catfish: The TV Show中。
2015年,乐队携制作人Tony Hoffer(曾参与M83, the Kooks和Depeche Mode等乐队制作)发行EP the Smile。这张EP见证了乐队向华丽风格转变的轨迹。时过境迁,乐队成员经历了2年的巡演,将演出体验与感受倾注于新曲之中。
Career
2010–2012: Early founding
Originally billed as Concept store, in 2010 they released their first single, "Damn", which has a mixture of sunny-pop and electronic elements. The band consisted originally of Oscar Nilsson, David Larsson, Filip Bekic and Povel Olsson.
In 2011, the band changed their name to The Concept. Oscar Nilsson left the band and became replaced by the bassist Magnus Robert. The same year they released "D-D-Dance" and "Gimme Twice". After getting support from the Swedish national radio channel P3, they soon made an impression on the Swedish live music scene, peaking in the summer of 2011 at the Peace & Love festival.
In early 2012, the band changed its name to The Royal Concept, signing to Lava Records and releasing their self-titled EP in June. They also released their tracks "World on Fire" and "Naked and Dumb", followed by a fall tour in the US opening for The Wombats, then Wolf Gang before returning to Sweden to finish recording their studio album. Their single "Goldrushed" was included in the soundtrack of FIFA 13, and also in NASCAR The Game: Inside Line(along with "In The End"), while "World on Fire" was featured on the soundtrack of MLB 13: The Show.
2013: Goldrushed
In 2013, the band released the single "On Our Way", and announced the title of their debut album, Goldrushed, which was released in Sweden on September 11, 2013. That fall the band toured with American Authors and Misterwives around North America. In addition the band also released an exclusive song on Spotify, "27 Forever". In spring 2014 the band went on tour with Switchfoot. In April 2014, the band announced the release date (May 7, 2014) of their debut album "Goldrushed" in Japan, which features five bonus tracks (Damn, Naked & Dumb, Gimme Twice, Knocked Up, and Someday). "On Our Way" is one of the songs featured in EA Sports's football game FIFA 14, and has been one of the players' most favourite songs. It was also covered by the cast of Glee in the Season 5 episode "The End of Twerk" and was also used several episodes of MTV series Big Tips Texas, Generation Cryo and Catfish: The TV Show.
2015-2018: Smile
The Royal Concept's second release was August 21, 2015 with the album Smile. "Smile" was featured in the game FIFA 16. "Fashion" was featured in the television program iZombie. The band toured in North American supporting the album.
After the release and publicity of Smile, members of the band decided to disband for a short time before joining back together and releasing an EP, "The Wake Up", in September 2018 while on a tour of Asia.
2019: The Man Without Qualities
On May 24, 2019, TRC released "The Man Without Qualities", their first release since breaking from Republic Records. The album was described as more mature than the band's previous releases, with a little but of carryover but with more climaxes and emotion as well as showing more of a psychedelic side of their sound. The band originally planned for The Man Without Qualities to be their last album, but after exiting the bureaucratic world of major music labels, a newfound vibe pushed them forward, and worked with Chris Seefried to produce the album. The Royal Concept toured China before the album's release and subsequently announced a tour in Japan, Sweden and Spain.
