ROYCE

Ruthless rhythms and backyard beats. Alluring vocals sit atop warm, glowing bass tones, and percussive tremors that have become signature to Royce's rumble n' snap sound. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The continued success of their first release, "Subtleties of the Game," in addition to tours with Galapagos4 in Europe and the U.S., Royce has harvested fresh fuel for their sound. The quartet returned to the studio to produce a record that captured the heart and soul of growing up in the Windy City. Amidst this alchemy of sound called TUFF LOVE, Royce continues to carve out its niche in popular music and looks forward to their third release in 2009, Kings Stagger.
