The sound of Merchant Royal is at once both fresh and familiar, a glimpse into the future of rock music, as well as an homage to its past. The band is influenced by the music of 1960’s and 70’s rockers, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and The Doors, as well as modern acts, such as The Black Keys and Beck.
Their music is characterized by rich and lyrical melodies, bluesy riff-based instrumentation, tight, intricate rhythms, and virtuosic guitar solos. Merchant Royal prioritizes originality, soul, and creativity, all of which can be witnessed in their live performances.
