“令人着迷的独特声音。”——When The Gramophone Rings
“让这些瑞典摇滚乐手用他们的热门单曲震惊你吧！”——The Indie Sound
如果乐队名The Royal Concept听上去有些陌生的话，先听听他们的《On Our Way》吧。没错，这首你在《Glee》里让你跟着抖腿，在《FIFA 14》里陪你拿下每一场比赛的歌，就是瑞典indie乐团The Royal Concept的代表作。今年夏天，我们终于等到了他们的首度中国巡演，来现场跟着北欧小哥哥们跳起来吧！
经由独立发行的热门单曲《D-D-Dance》，混合Phoenix式阳光流行乐和电子元素的斯德哥尔摩indie舞曲摇滚乐团the Royal Concept（原名The Concept）在全世界范围内一炮而红，成员包括主唱兼吉他手David Larson，主音吉他手Filip Bekic，贝斯手Magnus Robert和鼓手Frans Povel。瑞典全国性电台P3对他们力推之后，他们如沐春光的气质，动感的摇摆节奏和满溢的活力使他们从瑞典的现场演出中脱颖而出，在2011年夏天的爱与和平音乐节上轰动全场。
2012年，乐队正式更名为The Royal Concept，与Lava唱片签约并于六月推出了同名专辑。同时发行了两支单曲《World on Fire》和《Naked and Dumb》，并成为了秋季The Wombats美国巡演的嘉宾乐队。单曲《Goldrushed》收录于FIFA 13原声带和云斯顿赛车：内线（同时收录《In The End》）。单曲《World on Fire》收录于MLB 13: The Show原声带。
2013年，乐队发行了单曲《On Our Way》并公布首张专辑标题《Goldrushed》，随后进行了北美巡演。单曲《On Our Way》收录于EA Sports的游戏FIFA 14中，是玩家们最喜爱的歌曲之一。美剧欢乐合唱团Glee也于第五季《The End of Twerk》一集中翻唱了这首歌曲，还出现在MTV剧集Big Tips Texas, Generation Cryo和Catfish: The TV Show中。
2015年，乐队携制作人Tony Hoffer（曾参与M83, the Kooks和Depeche Mode等乐队制作）发行EP《the Smile》。这张EP见证了乐队向华丽风格转变的轨迹。时过境迁，乐队成员经历了2年的巡演，将演出体验与感受倾注于新曲之中。

So what does a smile sound like? Well, given its sun-soaked flavor, upbeat swing, and uncontainable energy, The Royal Concept’s second EP, Smile [LAVA/Republic Records], could very well answer that.
The Swedish quartet—David Larson [vocals], Filip Bekic [guitar], Magnus Robert [bass], and Frans Povel [drums]—first achieved worldwide attention with their viral hit “D-D-Dance.” In 2013, the track hit #2 on Hype Machine, while its follow-ups “Gimme Twice” and ”World on Fire” reached #3 and #1 respectively.
LAVA signed the group and released their debut The Royal EP as the band crisscrossed the globe to play live shows in packed venues. Simultaneously, their hit single, “On Our Way” received high-profile placements everywhere from Glee and MTV’s Catfish to FIFA 14. Following that whirlwind, The Royal Concept returned home to Sweden ready and eager to do it all again. With a new batch of tunes, they traded Sweden’s snow for Los Angeles’s sun and entered the studio with producer Tony Hoffer [M83, Phoenix, Depeche Mode, The Kooks]. 12 days later they emerged with the EP, Smile.
“He has done some of our favorite records,” admits TRC’s frontman David. “When you’re recording, it can be very stressful because you know that you have to live with this music for the rest of your life. But after a couple of days in the studio with Tony, we felt like we could let go of all the anxiety and just enjoy it. He brought this level of playfulness that we’ve always felt on stage, but never before in the studio. It really made a huge impact on this EP. We trusted his ears and he trusted our playing.”
This time around, the boys used their two years on the road to infuse that live experience into the new songs. Everybody’s voice is literally heard. David explains “Throughout our touring we have discovered a live sound that is us. For example, it sounded more soulful when all four of us sang together. That helped me a lot, because I truly hate the sound of my own voice!” he laughs. “I love being a front man, but I never pictured myself as a singer.”
Now, the EP’s first single “Fashion” struts from a funky guitar into a disco-style chant replete with sizzling falsetto and an unshakable bounce. “I just felt a tension within the word ‘Fashion’,” explains the group’s songwriter, Filip. “It’s loaded with a lot of things. You can hate it or love it. The song tells a story about a person who thinks they are the coolest person around. They wear the right clothes and go to clubs where everyone is aware of themselves and their style. But suddenly they meet this person who’s from a completely different world, and they fall in love. That other person is the free, wild type and suddenly the “cool” person is beaten up by this person’s personality. It’s the most beautiful slap in the face that they’ve ever experienced. Love can be a struggle and sometimes the struggle is just keeping up with the fantastic soul you’ve fallen for.”
Alongside “Fashion,” there’s the title track “Smile,” which shimmies between a golden sing-a-long, 70’s glam refrain and hip hop sounding beats. “’Smile’ was the first song we wrote for this EP,” David continues. “It really cracked the code for us with the combination of us singing choruses and that vocal riff. We quickly recorded a demo of it and when we heard it, the four of us knew ‘this sounds like us.’ We mostly find our inspiration in blues and rock n’ roll, but we love to add that androgynous side to it. Rock can be so manly, filled with boring clichés, and we’ve never felt at home in that environment. The song “Smile” is exactly where we want to be right now and that’s why it’s the title track.”
Overall, the EP serves one special purpose for The Royal Concept. As David proclaims, “I hope it makes everybody want to listen to the songs on repeat and see The Royal Concept live. We feel most alive on stage. This recording and our live shows are opportunities for us to make people happy, to make people smile.”
