Royally entertained
Sweden rocks. But we already knew that.
Royal Republic might hail from the home of ABBA, Europe and Roxette but what sets them apart from their fellow countrymen?
Well how about this for starters: a reliable propensity for producing the catchiest, chorus driven bangers this side of the Øresund Bridge?
Or an irrepressible energy that could power the National Grid?
Royal Republic’s crowd-pleasing mission really knows no bounds: entertainment with a capital ‘E’ is the name of their A game.
And if we liked 2019’s Club Majesty then we loved last year’s LoveCop.
Call Of The Wild’s pulled off another coup with its showstopping Saturday night headliner. Prepare to be blown away.
What we said
“Wow! Wow! Wow! Just… Wow!
“Track of the week? More like track of the year!
“This is Royal Republic at their riotous, ridiculous, riveting best and it’s impossible to imagine any other rock and roll band having quite so much fun.
“There’s sass, there’s sax and there’s satisfaction guaranteed as Adam Grahn and his buddies go all-out bonkers.
“Paired with a peach of a video, this sizzling tune should soundtrack your summer.
And it’s a delightful antidote to global doom and gloom.
“Wow! Wow! Wow! would have walked Eurovision and bagged Malmo a hometown win.
“You read it here first but Royal Republic are finally ready to take Abba’s crown as Sweden’s craziest, catchiest musical export.”
