The Best Indie Songs of 2015 - Royal Tongues

A feel good indie pop song Royal Tongues Rollin’ On (Jan’15) is like a great vibrator. It hits all of the sweet spots. In fact it's an ecstatic dance song for fantastic nights. A song as sticky as a plumbers crack in summer, the chorus is the intro and propels you into the verse with the emotion pouring out of the duo's voices, setting the stage for something truly special.

 

 

The tune offers drum machine, synths, echo vocals and a stone cold awesome, massive chorus. Words fail me there is no way to do this track justice, music just does not get any better than this. This is as addictive as sex on ice and get me a preacher, I testify, this is one of the best indie songs of 2015.

Jeez 80’s pop just keeps rollin’ ...

 



  

Royal Tongues are a duo from Buffalo, New York. They have picked up hype fast for this, only their second single. Although, both men have had various careers in music, writing and producing they have finally struck out on their own. Someone snidely suggested they had been saving their best songs for themselves.

Shit you need to know:

Royal Tongues main influences are Smallpools , Passion Pit, Youngblood Hawke and Grouplove. Unless you threw in Handel's Hallelujah Chorus it's statistically impossible to find a group of more uplifting influences!

Royal Tongues more left-field influences are The Killers, ABBA, Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday.

Royal Tongues have also been described as a poppier, yeah that’s a word, Killers. Someone was having a good day!

As of February 5^th, 2015 they have only a paltry 750 likes on Facebook but Rollin On has had half a million Spotify plays. That must be set to change.

Got a taste for more wonderful? Try their fabulous first single The Balance or the even better Higher.

 

Sinful seconds go to the German band Liquido because of the wickedly addictive synth intro in this indie dance rock song Narcotic(1996).

Narcotic is the official anthem of the French footy team Bordeaux.
