U.S. Royalty formed in 2008 in Washington, D.C. Built around the lifelong musical collaboration of brothers John and Paul Thornley, vocals/piano and guitar, respectively, and rounded out by Jacob Michael (bass), and Luke Adams (drums), the group has refined and expanded their collective vision since their earliest practices spent shivering around a single heater while ensconced in an abandoned trailer in rural Maryland.
 
While the band had a collection of demos recorded mainly to book gigs they were approached by Brooklyn-based Engine Room Recordings to release a selection of the songs on a 7-inch entitled Midsommar.

Micah Vellian is the moniker of DC-based producer/DJ Miguel Lacsamana. He is 1/3 of Volta Bureau (with Will Eastman and Outputmessage). In typical DC DIY fashion, Lacsamana has been in several DC bands as a performer, writer and producer (Stamen & Pistils, Metropolitan, Person). More recently, he has done production and co-writing work with the likes of Will Eastman, Dmerit (with Outputmessage), and Stereofaith. He has releases on Output Noise Records, Swedish Columbia Records and Plant Music.

Funky guitar licks meet intoxicating indie vocals with an Alex Metric wrapper of pure energy! This is a funkin’ CHOON and a half ready for dancefloor devistation – wicked signing by Mr. Fatboy Slim’s label Southern Fried. In our humble opinion, this is one of the most innovative offerings from electronic dance music that we have heard all summer. Engage children of the night, and allow yourself to drown in this bliss!

Do we really need to leave review commentary? This one is about as obvious as an old school progressive house/trance DJ walking into a record shop in the late 90′s and seeing a new Hooj Choons release on the wall. This package is a no-brainer. In the words of Pete Tong – “Essential!”
