"Little Monster" was the second single from Royal Blood, the English hard rock duo of Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher, released on 10 February 2014, and it was their first release for Warner Bros. after they signed in 2013. The two wrote it together, and it later landed on the Out of the Black EP and on their self-titled debut album.
It's a riff that sounds far too big for two people, thick, fuzzed and swinging, with a stop-start groove built to rattle windows. Critics couldn't agree on what to call it, stoner rock, blues rock, garage rock or alternative metal, which tells you everything. Tom Dalgety recorded and co-produced it, and Alan Moulder and David Sardy mixed it.
