   About Royal Showdown
The music of Royal Showdown is packed with eclectic and varied references, all while appealing to the current UK pop scene. From the outset, the band’s sound is clearly identifiable from the narrative lyrics, daring arrangements and sophisticated melodies.

What style of music? Well, that is for you to decide. The band will talk about Steely Dan and Black Kids in the same breath. So there is certainly no musical snobbery at work in the Royal Showdown camp!

While the writing and arranging undoubtedly brings something fresh and different to the current music climate, the appeal of Royal Showdown is in no doubt due to the calibre of musicians who form the band; central to this is the horn section and string quartet – a key differentiator from the guitar-led bands, who seem to dominate the musical skyline.

(Royal Showdown is signed to D Records and D Music/Notting Hill Music Publishing)

Here are some of our latest highlights and performances - enjoy !

Royal Showdown - Crash of 84

Royal Showdown - Time To Be Leaving

THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN was written many years ago. It could have been written last week. It speaks of maintaining perspective in a world that is carried away by emotionally driven societal insanity. Please don't be part of this escalating problem. Keep some perspective and avoid being caught up in it all. Give the song a listen and see if you agree with its premise. If not, just listen to the guitar parts. They're pretty good. www. reverbnation. com/tunepak/1000457 HAPPY NEW YEAR! ~Tioga Dan

Hi, it's been awhile since I checked in. Hope you're doing well in all this craziness we call our world. Still trying to sell my real-estate in Texas so I can get back to Virginia where my bandmates and recording studio are. I've got an album to record and no way to get there. If you like our music and would like to hear more, please say a prayer for me to sell my property in this crashing economy. I need a miracle right now.
Here's my comments on politics and the direction of humanity in general. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to pass it on. ~Dan
