Royal Republic – release riotous reimagining of ‘I’m So Excited’

Sweden’s finest purveyors of high-octane rock’n’roll, Royal Republic, are back and turning up the glitter-drenched chaos with their brand new single, ‘I’m So Excited’ — a riotous reimagining of the iconic Pointer Sisters hit.
 
This dazzling cover is the second chapter in The Blastbeaters saga, a four-part musical journey where Royal Republic don corpse paint, spikes, and dubious logic in their transformation into The Blastbeaters — a fictional Black Metal band with a beat-up Volvo 140 and an ambition for world domination… whether the world wants it or not.
 
‘I’m So Excited’ follows hot on the heels of the band’s explosive cover of Shocking Blue’s ‘Venus’, which launched The Blastbeaters series with a bang — and a fair bit of glitter. But if fans thought that was wild, they’d better buckle up: this next instalment promises sparkles, glitter, saxophone solos, and the kind of unhinged energy only Royal Republic could conjure.
 
Expect the unexpected. Prepare to get SO EXCITED. Royal Republic style.
 

Hail glitter. Hail sax. Hail Satan.
