Blacklist Royals Performing at SXSW

Nashville’s own, Blacklist Royals are thrilled to announce they will be performing at South By Southwest 2014!

Top tier music outlets such as Alternative Press Magazine and RockSound Magazine have both praised the band for their unique and inspiring sound.

Working their way up from the dingiest of clubs and barrooms sprawling in and across North America’s borders to the stages of European festivals performing in front of thousands, Blacklist Royals have spent the last three years on the road supporting their debut full length Semper Liberi… chasing the often fleeting rock-n-roll dreams of youth like a siren song, and finding their own voice along the way.

Their long awaited follow-up album, Die Young With Me, is a testament to that. There was a very deliberate change in the writing process as twin brothers and founding members Nat and Rob Rufus entered the studio to begin going through new material with the band, and the record went on to take shape as a truly autobiographical collection of songs. Topically revolving around the personal account of a childhood spent battling cancer, the album unfolds as a fluid thing, exploring new directions both sonically and lyrically with candor and heart like never before. Die Young With Me, produced by Ted Hutt (Old Crow Medicine Show, Flogging Molly, Lucero, The Gaslight Anthem)will see release in June via Krian Music Group/ UMG.
