Boil, Boil, Royal and Noble

Hailing from my home burg of Reno, Nv. Royal Noble is a sometimes three-piece that is sometimes active. As is the case with the majority of bands from Reno, shit always kind of fizzles out before they can get a foot hold nationally, or even regionally for that matter. But you better believe this band kept the basements warm for a good while. This is one of a few demos, I believe it's the first. But don't quote me, it is nine concise power-pop ditties revolving around themes of love and, well mostly just love. People might classify this as lo-fi, but that's just because it's recorded on minimal equipment with minimal polish. This isn't that aesthetic lo-fi, which mostly just means they buried a sub-par song under fuzz and white-noise, it's really just lo-fi out of necessity; no big studios or big money in the Biggest Little City. If you needed to compare them to something I would say somewhere between The Replacements and Daniel Johnston, but that's a pretty lazy description.
