Indie rock trio the Royal Bangs make rambunctious experimental rock with a bent toward '90s noise rock. Formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2005, the Royal Bangs feature former high-school friends singer/multi-instrumentalist Ryan Schaefer and drummer Chris Rusk as well as guitarist Sam Stratton. The band posted its music online and eventually caught the ear of <a href="spotify:artist:7mnBLXK823vNxN3UWB7Gfz">the Black Keys</a>' Patrick Carney, who signed them to his Audio Eagle Records label and released their debut, We Breed Champions, in 2008. The band's sophomore effort, Let It Beep, followed in 2009. A year later, the band signed to Glassnote Records. In 2011, the Royal Bangs released their third studio album, Flux Outside, which featured production from former <a href="spotify:artist:64tVHZVSAZhDEiOJxnb6hE">Sparklehorse</a> member Scott Minor and mixing from longtime <a href="spotify:artist:16eRpMNXSQ15wuJoeqguaB">Flaming Lips</a> producer <a href="spotify:artist:0kydcbHRghva5MNR87jLS0">Dave Fridmann</a>. The Royal Bangs returned in 2013 with the Carney-produced Brass. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
