Washington, D.C. based U.S. Royalty returned to Chicago last week on the tail-end of their most recent tour. They brought their rock ‘n roll swagger back to Schuba’s, complete with a custom mixtape.
U.S. Royalty’s front man, John Thornley, spoke with me previously about the band’s influences, the recording process of their first LP, and his favorite haunts in Chicago and his hometown, DC. Check out the interview and enjoy the show’s closing number below.
