Album Premiere: Broke Royals - Local Support

Keep It Posi is excited to premiere Broke Royals’ new album, Local Support, which will be out tomorrow, July 15th!

Together, Broke Royals and Bartees Strange have created a new rock & roll record that melds the sounds of today with those of their heroes. The influences of Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty shine through with particular clarity when the band trades pristine pop for the raw energy of a live band. Each track on the record explores themes of love, heartbreak, religion, and anxiety in the modern world.

Local Support is an album about being brutally honest, savoring small moments, and finding the strength to start over. Despite being the band’s third full length album, in many ways it feels like their debut. For years, the Washington D.C. Rock n' Roll outfit was putting one foot in front of the other with gigs and writing, it was a grind, albeit a familiar one. After the world came to a screeching halt in 2020 and the dust began to settle, it appeared that not everything should go back to the way it was. Even relationships within Broke Royals were strained, leaving the future of the band feeling uncertain.

Instead of giving in, Broke Royals reworked their system top-to-bottom. They started writing more collaboratively and investing time to check in with one another. Without gigs on the calendar, the band could take time to reconnect and grow musically. With producer, Bartees Strange as their guide, they made their most self-assured album in the most uncertain time. On Local Support, Broke Royals made the album they wanted to hear, without the world in mind, so anything that happens next is just icing on the cake.
