We love playing shows there and eating the food, we always have a good time when we’re in America, and I think we’ll have a bit of time, you know. It was a privilege to be there.Įo8: You’re about to start an extensive North American tour, kicking it off with a performance at Coachella what are your expectations for the tour? Will you have time to do any exploring or is your schedule pretty intense?īT: We’re really excited. To win any kind of award for doing music is brilliant I think. It was a little bit of a shock, to be honest, but it was great.
We didn’t really expect it, we were up against Coldplay and One Direction. Fortunately, I managed to stop hyperventilating long enough to ask him a few questions:Įo8: Royal Blood won the award for Best British Group at the 2015 Brit Awards this year, what was that experience like for you?īT: It was pretty mad. The band was set to play a show in Spain, and Ben was speaking to me from a beach in Barcelona. I had the most incredible opportunity recently to interview drummer Ben Thatcher, one-half of British rock duo Royal Blood, who won the award for “Best British Group” at the Brit Awards this year (like our Grammy awards), beating out bands like Coldplay, alt-j, and One Direction.
