Royal Republic is here at Hellfest and they're about to do a press conference, so let's take a while. Hello Royal Republic, Welcome to the hottest press confidence you'll probably ever attend. It's insane.

0:45 At least we've got fans. I'm Kneel by the way from the UK for total rock. I just wanted to ask you as well. Health Fest has a lot of big metal bands. You guys bring the party, you bring the DEAs moves at you think that the hell Fest audience. Are ready for you? And I also want to ask a question in the band, how's the best gas moves? I would be the yeah you want to see now? Yes? Yes, yes you are you're committed. Now yeah, I can't keep a beat that.

1:37 Do the world well? Sure, mers to go for the festival. My name is Down, I'm from America and I'm here at and I'm wanted to ask a question. How has it been since your last delfist? What have you guys been working on? We did we never did help before? This has fantastic and what can we expect with your new album? We don't know yet or did I miss album?

2:22 But we have a new single called Venus from Shocking Loop to cover its. We don't really know what to expect. That's the funny thing about being in this band. It's like everybody expects us to have this grand plan, but we're just kind of motoring along and putting the track in. Front of the train as we go. We are as surprised as everyone else. Do we release something? Yeah. The other thing we can say is basically expect the unexpected because we don't know it. That sounds amasic by names down at the underground from all Rock. Thank you very much, Hi guys, even from ill music artlet.

3:03 Here's very multicultural today. I suppose I get a multicultural question for you. Love copp has one of your highest charting albums in your. Own card, in your own country and Sweden. Four albums in a row that are charted. Also in your highest charting album in Germany. What does that success mean to you? How come no one tells that sounds awesome? I need to work for you. Feel there's our label except what luck the Chilers label xecond, not the X. Give the suck sets away from the band and make them work hard. It's like you have to do better.

3:44 I think I guess they want us to do better when the times the things, but we can see it in the ticket sales and the people that show up. And the streaming revenue. That was a joke. Well we can almost buy ourselves as cheeseburger up. Yeah it's good. Yeah, we love it, We love I love every step forward and I also love. The steps back, especially store. What do you mean by that? The thing that happened in twenty twenty that's not going to talk about study.

4:25 This is like a therapy session. Part of therapy session. Hi guys, I'm at Lisa from the Road and Rock in the UK. You just said you don't plan anything. How did you get the band together when you first gold? Did you know what direction you wanted to take? I basically my part was basically I just got a phone call. They we all knew of each other. We didn't know each other when we were a. Music academy like really super posh Stunds very posh. And then I think Adam had an idea like yes for the former band, and it just looked around like who who amongst older brothers might play.

5:10 Bad and be the best. It's gotta be bairn. And who is the great as the rock poser. It's gotta be honest. Who has the best dance? Yeah, and who has the thickest neck that's me. Uh No. We started like Adam wanted to start a band, so he quit the university and then he went back to. The yod university like six months. Lavor and said, okay, do you want to be in the band? Do you want to be in the band? Do you want to be in the band? And that's kind of how it started. That's who was. We didn't know each other. It was really weird actually looks the first couple of rehearsals, it was just like we played a couple of songs and there was. Then there was silence. Yeah. Yeah, but it's. Like playing music always felt great with this set up, Like we've added one band member at the time, and it was just an instant of chemistry every time, and everything else kind of came out of that. I mean, obviously now we've known each other a long time, pays for some.

6:07 Some stuff together. Yeah, it's like a second family nowadays. Yeah, but you know, with all the that stuff and the bad stuff. Yeah, thank you. Have you ever want a question that uh you said about used to get me because in Sweden when you are young, it's really easy to learn music, to play have some space as right frock And last year we were coming with Eddy from Blue Fields and she said that things have it's evolved in the wrong way. How do you so do. You have more information about that? And what do you think also about that? Because Sweden was a really strong country, which inn't you know that it's too really make. It that as a living After that, I think there is some.

6:52 With with the people in the place in Swedish government right now, there. Is some coming back on the whole uh. Cultural education thing, which is all used to be very sad and there's a lot of people being very frustrated about this. What's included, I guess red. Least see cause we all started in the school. You know. I started playing drums when I was eight years old. Somebody said, hey, what do you wanna play? And then you could go and do or do you want to play music? And I said drums? Yeah, And it was free for all d classical general yeah, and you were just on your way. So yeah, uh, and it's really sad that that disappears because all the successful musicians either went through that singing educational system.

7:37 So yeah, she's I think she's sold to something. It is a little it's side and it arn's least. I mean, listen, it's a Swedish artist that sings in Swedish. But she says, you know, when you start cutting back of culture, you're also like started cutting back on mental health. Because a lot of people like us music too, and we hear about. It a little too. Yeah, we never thought this band would mean anyone anything to anyone, you want to singing up underwear and making silly punts about you know, innuendos and stuff. But people come up to us all the time and say like, hey, you really helped me get. Through some tough times. And I think that's something that's you.

8:19 Know, you're investing not just in music. You're investing in a bunch of other things as well. I think that's important, more and more important. Yeah, and I am being given to the opportunity to actually do something productive and good with your spare time when you were fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, or you know that means, I mean it's the world. Who knows what we would have been doing if it was it wasn't for. Us being in the rack cocaine smashing. Windows playing BONDI. Yeah. Yeah, as Sweden is a legendary countree for artists for the music is fromart you go ghost, you can naba, you can maximart to also like to be starting up with those people.

9:02 And push. It does inspire you. Is there is there a Swedish acretory like. We would like to be like those or does that make it tougher to start up against that type of conversation. I think they kind of picked the way actually for people in bands like us, because from from when we were kids, we've always we knew that it was actually a career choice. You could actually make a living making music. And it wasn't like frownled upon and it was it's not so much like. Go get a real job, get a haircut to get a job. It's it's not like that. It's weird because we have so many great.

9:44 Artists and successful songwriters and producers, but people. Know that you can actually make a living them it's worth. Taking a shop pattern. We all come from small cities and all of the other bands called coming from small Cities because there's nothing else to do, so you can either you know, do crack cocaine or bid it's so it's a. Minimal Hello, this is Dawn from All Rock Again. I just wanted to know who the genius was. Behind the video creations because I loved watching them.

10:25 So who was the genius with the ideas. If we're talking about themis that was basically we had the song first, and then Adam called us the rest of the band. We had a band meeting, and it's like to be. Able to make some sort of successful with the song, we need movie material. Nowadays it doesn't kind of any more. We've just been eating a song. Everybody like, yeah, we do and uh, then we just tried to figure out that this brain stormy and then we came up with a what about corps mat that's we haven't done that before, so uh, let's get bad to go and what about a love story with focus man were talking that that would we could be It's just kind of like naturally evolved and basically kind of antuscript.

11:09 Done on the morning. Let me start cheating, so and it's a lot of the conversation as well. It was as always a tight budget. I want to type type schedule. So but we you're super happy with the results. It's weird how we're such a tight budget. No that we're number one. I having a good time yearning. From the say.

11:53 Not that you got. Your father saw you? Why you.

12:57 Right righting? Ms. Last is the crowd. Fire and the songs I Sis Raining Dies, You's Wading Out, sat.
