Episode 130: Royalty Kult

On this episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Josh Bauserman and Dave Fulford-Brown of Royalty Kult! Josh and Dave's friendship and music partnership goes back more than a decade, as both were formerly in the band Interim Divine. The duo launched Royalty Kult in June 2020, and built a name for the band in the Los Angeles scene with their cinematic blend of hard rock and alternative metal. Over the years, they've shared the stage with the likes of Soulfly, Gemini Syndrome, and headlined multiple shows at the historic Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip. In December 2020, Royalty Kult released their debut album entitled Enjoying the End, the title track of which featured Doc Coyle (The Ex-Man with Doc Coyle podcast, Bad Wolves, God Forbid, Vagus Nerve). Since that time, Royalty Kult has dropped multiple singles and music videos, the latest of which is "The Dying." Released on 1/26/24, the heartfelt track features the late Jeff Sills, a close friend of Royalty Kult.  On this episode, Josh and Dave speak with Mike about their friendship and music partnership, what it was like building a band in the LA music scene, Josh's relocation to Nashville, their moving tribute to Jeff Sills in the video for "The Dying," persevering through tragedy and difficult times, what's on deck for Royalty Kult in 2024, and more. This episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman also features Royalty Kult's latest single entitled "The Dying" featuring Jeff Sills, available where you get your music!
