The ‘Ice Age’ of Royal Blush
They come out of Jersey City fully formed. Over the past four years, these do-it-yourselfers have taken alt-rock up a notch to incorporate pure pop. A Ways Away is the debut. Singles “Go,” “Cherry Cola” and “Ice Age” have made the trio’s indie cred blossom.
Royal Blush have been playing shows since 2021, with performances in a variety of clubs and basements across the tri-state area. Formed by guitarist Andrew Merclean, and later joined by vocalist Allison Heckart and guitarist/producer Patryk Sikorski, the trio is able to fill any space they perform in with emotion. We’ll be posting the video for “Go” next month in the “Visual Sound” section. It leans more grunge in its raw approach. But first, here’s “Ice Age.”
