Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Heroes are not just born, they are forged in fire, they are gauged and shaped from the strongest oak and imprinted with humility throughout; these are the finest heroes, those who have greatness thrust upon them and as Swedish band Royal Republic show with determined fascination, the Weekend Man, the one who gives it their all it all week and then slams the weekend into the back row, that is the hero to be.
