Royal Bangs are hitting the road for a pretty extensive spring tour in support of their yet to be released second album Flux Outside, out March 29 on Glassnote Records. Flux Outside was recorded in August in an old home in Knoxville with the assistance of Sparklehorse’s Scott Minor. The record then made the trek to New York where it was mixed by Dave Friddman (Sleater Kinney, MGMT). Some juggernauts of indie rock helped Flux Outside come together.

Royal Bangs debuted in 2006 with We Breed Champions, which caught the eye of Patrick Carney (The Black Keys), who reissued the album in 2008 on his own Audio Eagle Records. They followed that up in 2009 with the critically acclaimed Let It Beep, which garnered the attention of Glassnote Records. Check the tour dates and listen to “Grass Helmet” below.
