In a recent interview with NME, Royal Blood were asked about a potential follow up to their second album, to which Kerr said, “We’ve thought about it. We’re pretty busy at the moment. We’ve written a few bits, but we’re kind of still in the thrust of touring. Until that comes to an end, we won’t be embarking on much as of yet”.
Kerr went on further to speculate about the musical style of any new work, saying, “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”
