Dave Grohl calls Royal Bloods debut album 'so encouraging'
Foo Fighters front-man Dave Grohl has described Royal Bloods recent rise to the top UK album charts as 'so encouraging'.
The Brighton duo's self titled debut album went straight in to the UK album charts at number 1 when it was released back in August 2014. It has become the fastest selling rock debut since Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' release in 2011.
Speaking to the NME, Grohl recalled watching footage of the bands set at this years Glastonbury Festival. "I saw some live footage of them, and I was so excited to see a band that was heavy, had riffs, had songs, and could really perform, and an audience that was genuinely excited to watch them play," said Grohl.
"And then someone tells me that the album went to number one, and for another guy with a guitar to see another guy with a guitar getting the number one record, it’s so encouraging".

Foo Fighters are favourites to headline one of the nights at Glastonbury Festival next year after Grohl himself told the NME that he's interested in the slot. Fleetwood Mac are also in line to headline despite Mick Fleetwood stating that the band will not perform together next year.
