Royal Republic is the kind of rock band that does what it likes, letting all the clichés and preconceptions slide by. Case in point: the recent cover of Venus – in a power-disco rock vein that’s downright exultant – with a clip featuring a fictitious band: The Blastbeaters. Or when fun and the desire to explore are top priorities.
Good vibes, a group of long-time friends, endless melodies: Baba Shrimps – a subtle nod to Forrest Gump – is a band that wants to bring people together but also raise questions through music with diverse influences. In terms of sound, the band has gone through several phases: from folk to more electronic, it now sits somewhere between rock and pop.
