"We didn’t want anyone else in the band. There was no one else that would really fit in," Kerr tells MOJO. "We could play these same songs we have with more members, and it would be a similar band, but you'd miss out on some of the ways we connect, our chemistry."
In addition to chemistry, Royal Blood's two-person setup has a great impact on the band's sound, too.
"The way I managed to engineer the sound was a free pass for it to be just me and Ben," Kerr says. "Being in a band isn't easy. You can't build it on distortion sound alone."
If Royal Blood was ever to change their mind, however, they're bound to find an extra guitar lying around when they open for the ax-loving Foo Fighters this summer.
