Royalty In Exile

I took this from their myspace "At this point and time what is to be expected from "Royalty in Exile" is music with energy and passion with the infuence of a sound that most can only look back on. Formed early 07 with ex/current members of well known NYC's local band's, "RIE" proudly announces the addition of good friend Matt Matera (7 Angels 7 Plagues, Dead to Fall). Getting started is our main priority and we will be hard at work to make sure we start things off on the right foot, please be patient. A big THANK YOU to everyone supporting us and taking the time out to listen to the music we have up at the moment... you will be seeing us very soon!"

Let me just go ahead and say that this band is one of my favorite bands playing music right now and they capture the early 2000 sound perfectly. There aren't really any bands right now playing this style so I got really stoked when I found this band. They are a perfect mix of beautiful melody like 7A7P, older Hopesfall and the the metallic heavy sound of bands like Endthisday and PFC. As if this wasn't enough to make this band top of my list I found out Matt Matera from 7A7P is actually in this fucking band, so that being said just check out their demo it's perfect.
