Riffed

Though 'Ten Tonne Skeleton' may not be an official single by Royal Blood, it's still been awarded the title of our Single Of The Week for this week for the pure reason of it being absolutely brilliant.

Track number nine of ten on 'Royal Blood', 'Ten Tonne  Skeleton' is undoubtedly our highlight. You would of put your house on it being a powerful yet catchy track and you would of been right, Mike Kerr once again uses his bass as a six string and begins 'Ten Tonne Skeleton' with a toe-tap and head-bang worthy riff that continues throughout the entirety of the track. "Cut loose like an animal. fired out like a cannon ball" are the words that you'll be shouting at the top of your voice from the ever so catchy chorus come 2 minutes and 24 seconds in, prior to this though, a gothical yet ever so brilliant interlude which entails of a choir singing to the beat of Ben Thatcher's symbols. It gets us everytime. A track that reminds us of 'No One Knows' by the mighty Queens of the Stone Age, 'Ten Tonne Skeleton' is a huge hit from an album packed to the rafters with huge hits.
