Prague is welcoming them on the 17<sup>th<\/sup> of November, when they are \u2013 together with the British band Dinosaur Pile-Up and the Timem Vantolem from the Netherlands \u2013 performing in Prague\u2019s Lucerna Music Bar.<\/p>\n<p>Though the gutsy, fireball energy and sheer cockiness of 2010\u2019s We Are The Royal and 2012\u2019s Save The Nation put Malmo, Sweden\u2019s Royal Republic on the map in some style, their latest opus Weekend Man is a bolder statement still. 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>Asked about just how far he and his bandmates have come, moreover, Royal Republic\u2019s frontman sums-up nicely: \u201cWhen we started out, it was almost laughable how different the four of us were. I\u2019d be like \u201cHey! Did you guys see the game last night?\u2019, and they\u2019d go, \u2018No. We don\u2019t watch football\u2026\u2019 Today we\u2019re a family &#8211; with all that comes with that &#8211; and I don\u2019t think any of us would change it for the world.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets are available from th 7<sup>th<\/sup> of July on for 350 CZK (+fee) at GoOut.cz, Ticketpro, Ticketportal, Eventim, musicbar.cz and at the cash desk of the LMB (without fee).<\/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.
