BRIT and NME Award-winning UK duo Royal Blood stopped by the Howard Stern Show earlier this week for an interview and performance of their song "Figure It Out". Tonight, June 12th at 11:00 PM EST, fans can hear a special Royal Blood concert recorded exclusively for the show on the Howard 101 Channel on SiriusXM. The performance will repeat through out the weekend. On the back of the band's appearance on Howard Stern, Royal Blood's album skyrocketed to #7 on the iTunes Top Albums Chart and #4 on the iTunes Alternative Chart.

Royal Blood is performing today at Bonnaroo and will wrap up their current headlining tour tomorrow night in Atlanta before heading to Europe for additional headlining dates and shows supporting Foo Fighters. For a complete list of upcoming dates, click HERE.

Royal Blood is 24 year-old vocalist/bassist Mike Kerr and 27 year-old drummer Ben Thatcher. The duo's sound is a result of a lineage that stretches from present day heroes Queens of the Stone Age to the influential Led Zeppelin, and all the way back to early blues pioneers... yet this huge wall of sound emerges from just two men and two instruments. The band's ferocious approach to the drums and bass have led them to be hailed as one of the most exciting forces in live music. Entertainment Weekly praised the band's "muscle-car riffs and bluesy snarls", while Rolling Stone proclaimed "the band is surely well on its way to becoming a household name." Pitchfork noted the band's "crushing, contorted groove" and "telepathic sense of connectivity". USA Today declared them "the biggest breakouts in rock this year."
