Karm Kerwell and Jeff Taugner were in the Wisconsin based punk band THE MESS (1983-1986). Notable recordings consisted of their highly esteemed demo tape "Caught in the Middle" and an EP titled "It's All Wyrd". With a few tours under their belts and some crazy shows the Mess called it a day in 1986. Karm then joined the San Francisco based SYSTEMS COLLAPSE, serving from 1986 - 1988 as lead vocalist. Both Karm and Jeff then fell into obscurity until they met years later in Jeff's basement in 2014 to begin work on songs for THE ROYAL BLUE. Jason Nelson was discovered in a craigslist add and brought aboard to join the Blue. Jason was the drummer for Appleton's SEVEN FEET TALL (1997-2007). He then went on to play for the Green Bay based QUARTER LIFE CRISIS until around 2012. The Royal Blue released a home recorded, 4 song EP in 2015 (The Royal Blue). Ramshackle Groove is their first full-length CD.
