The Royalties, a smooth bunch of upbeat pop-rockers from Bergen, Norway, no less.

Mari Persen, Tommy Haltbakk, Rune Solberg and Bjørn Kåre Rambjør create a mix between 1950’s lounge music, classics like the Beach Boys, and expansive psych-pop like the flaming lips. The fun and dynamic appeal of The Royalties’ songs as well as the energetic and beat driven music ties so well to the colorful nature of the band itself. The result is something intensely melodic and complex, without appearing to convoluted.

The Royalties originally formed as a punk group during the band’s high school years in Kristiansund, but consequently broke up due to poor gigging and the mantra ”This just ain’t gonna happen.” It took the founding members several years to reform and create the band now known as The Royalties. When they did get the project off the ground, with producer HP Gundersen on board, the debut self-titled album was critically acclaimed. It was even nominated for a Norwegian Grammy for Best Pop Album in 2007. The follow-up titled ”The New Royalties” was self-released in 2008, and were also critically acclaimed.

With history repeating itself, the band now reformed with Mari Persen on keyboard and Bergen’s finest bass player Rune Solberg. The Royalties released their third album ”The New Royalties” on their very own cool label Music For Records October 26th 2009.
