The band\u2019s lanky, moustachioed frontman Adam Grahn says about the album: \u201cHearing these songs come together was a constant high. It took a little while, so we\u2019re still processing the fact that the album\u2019s actually done!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Together with fellow guitarist Hannes Ireng\u00e5rd, bassist Jonas Alm\u00e9n, and drummer Per Andreasson, Grahn hatched Weekend Man in Berlin, Germany. The group also recorded Save The Nation there, so Adam talks about Berlin as their second home by now, the base of operations. This time out, dynamic German production duo Christian Neander and Michael Tibes oversaw recording at Fuzz Factory Studios in the city\u2019s Kreuzberg district.<\/p>\n<p>Before forming late in 2007, all four members studied at Malmo\u2019s prestigious Academy Of Music. As Adam points out, this has ensured that the communication between them \u201cis like lightning\u201d. Listening to Weekend Man, you will also notice Royal Republic\u2019s keen understanding of all that is great about pop music. Hooks abound, and no matter how gritty or guillotine- sharp the music, every melody has been designed to wrap itself around your heart. Per is a big fan of producer Max Martin, who \u00a0worked for Britney, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson and all. \u201cYeah, songwriting-wise, I\u2019d say one of the strengths of Royal Republic is our healthy lack of respect for genre boundaries\u201d, adds Hannes. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a Taylor Swift song or Led Zeppelin one, we draw on what we like and try to make it our own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The show is sold out.<\/p>\n<p>Line up:<br \/>\nClub opens 19:30<br \/>\nDinosaur Pile-Up 20:30<br \/>\nTim Vantol 21:15<br \/>\nROYAL REPUBLIC 22:20<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201eWe\u2019ve made a really strong Royal Republic record that\u2019s totally true to ourselves, and we can\u2019t wait to take it on the road.\u201d, says front man Adam Grahn.
