Royal Blood released their latest album, ‘How Did We Get So Dark?’, in 2017. Speaking to NME in 2018, Kerr said the band had been thinking about plans for its follow-up. “We’ve written a few bits, but we’re kind of still in the thrust of touring,” he said. “Until that comes to an end, we won’t be embarking on much as of yet.”
Of the next record’s sound, he added: “As long as it’s rock music, and it’s me and him smashing the shit out of some instruments and having a laugh, then it could be a reggae record for all that we care.”
