U.S. Royalty was a Washington, D.C.–based indie rock band, composed of singer John Thornley, guitarist Paul Thornley, bassist Jacob Michael, and drummer Luke Adams.

Biography

Formed from the remnants of a few bands, they spent their first few months in a pink trailer, deep in the heart of Southern Maryland. U.S. Royalty was currently unsigned and released their debut album MIRRORS on January 25, 2011.[1] After playing festivals CMJ,[2] SXSW,[3] and opening for Third Eye Blind for the majority of 2011, the band followed up MIRRORS with their album Blue Sunshine released on January 21, 2014.[4][5]

In June 2017, U.S. Royalty announced on Facebook that they had agreed to part ways. The Thornley brothers created a new band called Born Rivals, while Jacob Michael will continue work with his Foreign Air project. [6]
