Our 'Track of the Week' for this week is the mighty 'Ten Tonne Skeleton' by Royal Blood. Taken from their self titled, chart topping debut album, it has proved to be the favourite for many and has since become one of the Brighton rockers' biggest tracks, in a rise that has seen them perform at empty gig venues for free to performing at Wembley Stadium with the Foo Fighters.
Track number nine of ten on 'Royal Blood', 'Ten Tonne Skeleton' is undoubtedly our highlight.
You would of put your house on it being another ear bleeder from Royal Blood and un-surprisingly, you'd of been right. Mike Kerr once again uses his bass like a six string and begins 'Ten Tonne Skeleton' with a 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 lyrics you'll be screeming out 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 that gets us everytime. A track that reminds us of 'No One Knows' by the mighty Queens of the Stone Age, 'Ten Tonne Skeleton' is another huge hit from an album packed to the rafters with such tracks.
