Nat Rufus (Blacklist Royals)
Blacklist Royals first emerged under that moniker in 2008 with the EP Six Strings, presenting a unique folk-punk sound mixed with a country tinge that could only be born of a band of punks who relocated to Nashville. Since then, the band has toured relentlessly, with another stint on Warped Tour already behind them as well as The Fest in Gainesville. The band has also reworked its sound a bit for the upcoming release of Semper Liberi, which sees the band joining the ranks of Paper + Plastick. Vocalist and guitarist Nat Rufus exchanged emails with Punknews staff interviewer and Pads & Panels purveyor Bill Jones to discuss the upcoming album and the state of the industry that led the band to sign with Paper + Plastick.
