The Royal Firecrackers consist of a man from Kansas City who currently lives in Seattle, WA and works as a graphic designer and writer and dad. Debut LP "American Royal" currently being mixed in Bloomington, Indiana by Mike Bridavsky at Russian Recording and released sometime in 2024. These songs sound good on headphones or old speakers with big ol' woofers. Tell your friends about this music.  

CURRENT MUSICAL PROJECTS:
