Our top 10 Royal Blood songs list takes a look at an English rock and roll band that created a superpower house sound fueled by only two musicians. In similar fashion to what the White Stripes did and also the great band Japandroids, Royal Blood consists of a drummer and a bass player. However, this particular bassist named Mike Kerr creates the sound of both a bass and guitar through the use of special effects pedals and his talents as a musician. Together with drummer Ben Thatcher, Royal Blood has released some of the most exciting rock and roll music of the past ten years. With only three albums released it might seem too early to be doing at top 10 Royal Blood songs list, but nonetheless that’s one of the reasons we do these lists. It is to turn people onto some bands they might not know much about and help those groups develop and even bigger following in keeping rock and roll music alive, well and flourishing. Royal Blood is definitely a band worth checking out.

The band Royal Blood first formed in Brighton England in 2011. The original group consisted of Mike Kerr on bass, Matt Swan on drums and Joe Dennis on guitar. Eventually, the group just came down to Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher. The duo released their first single entitled “Out Of The Black,” in October of 2013. The song was a huge hit in the UK where it broke into the UK Rock and Metal Singles charts top 30. The group then released their second single entitled “Little Monster,” at the beginning of 2014. Both of these songs created a huge buzz in the rock and roll business especially on the Eastern side of the Atlantic. A little more than six months after their second single was released Royal Blood released their debut album in the summer of 2014 entitled Royal Blood.The album was a stunning success in the UK.

Royal Blood released five singles from their debut album over a long period of time. Three years later, the band released their second album entitled How Did We Get So Dark?The album was released in the spring of 2017. Their sophomore album was an even bigger success than their first album in the United Kingdom. On a scale of what only bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac did, the group celebrated 10 songs from the album breaking into the top 20 of the United Kingdom Rock and metal single charts. That is a phenomenal success story for an album.

Royal Blood definitely took time in between their records. It would be another four years before they released their third studio album. However at the start of 2021 and still in the middle of the most horrific pandemic this world has ever seen, Royal Blood released date third studio album entitled Typhoons.

Our top 10 Royal Blood songs list will take a listen to some of the best songs released on the band’s first three albums. The beauty of these lists being published on the internet is that we could always update them when new music is released later on. However, for now, take a listen to some really great rock and roll songs from the band we all love here at classicrockhistory.com entitled Royal Blood.

# 10 – Hook, Line & Sinker

We open up our top 10 Royal Blood songs list with the great track “Hook Line & Sinker.: This is one powerful song hitting you hard right from the start. The song was released in 2017. There is a bit of a Led Zeppelin ” The Ocean,” song vibe going on here in some of the songs great licks.

# 9 – Oblivion

Continuing with our Royal Blood songs list in the number nine spot we turn to one of the band’s most popular songs entitled “Oblivion.” This one sounds very different from the opening song on this list. There is a bit of a more funky groove going on in this.

# 8 – Typhoons

In the number eight spot on our Royal Blood songs list is the title track to their most recent album entitled Typhoons. The song “Typhoons,” was released as the second single from the album. It’s a pretty recent release. This is the sound of rock and roll in 2021. The song was a top 10 hit on the Canadian rock and roll charts reaching all way up to the number two spot. It was also a top-10 hit on the UK charts.

# 7 – Out Of The Black

Moving along on a Royal Blood songs list we present the band’s very first single release entitled “Out Of The Black.: This is such a killer tune. Listen to those drums and bass guitar slamming against each other. This is just awesome rock and roll and it’s very easy to tell why they created such a buzz in the business when they released this amazing rock and roll song.

# 6 – Come On Over

The song “Come On Over,” was the third single released from the band’s debut album entitled Royal Blood. Listen to the sound of that guitar at the beginning of the track. The song sounds like a cross between Led Zeppelin and Nirvana with a little Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure. That’s some pretty good company to be compared to.

# 5 – I Only Lie When I Love You

At the halfway point on our Royal Blood songs list we take a listen to a killer track entitled ‘I Only Lie When I Love You.’ The song reminds us a little bit of the Garbage song ‘I’m Only Happy When It Rains.’ Another great Royal Blood song with killer guitar riffs and kicking drums. The song was released on the album How Did We Get So Dark?The album was released in 2017. ‘I Only Lie When I Love You,’ was released as the third single from the record. The song hit number one on the US Mainstream Rock tracks.

The song presented here in the number four spot is the great track entitled “Trouble’s Coming.” The song was released as the lead single from the band’s most recent studio album entitled Typhoons. This was a number one song for the band as it hit number one on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.

# 3 – Lights Out

The “number one,” hit single Royal Blood songs keep coming. This great tune entitled “Lights Out,” which has nothing to do with the UFO song was released on the band’s second album entitled How Did We Get So Dark? The song “Lights Out,” would hit number one on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock tracks charts. It’s fueled by a great Kurt Cobain guitar style riff at the end of the verses.

# 2 – Little Monster

In the number two spot on our Royal Blood songs list is the band second single release of their career entitled “Little Monster.” The song played an important role in helping break the band across Europe and getting them signed to a record deal.
