This Royal Nation is an Indie Pop/Rock band based out of Boise, ID. The group's name comes from a passage in scripture. 1 Peter 2:9 says "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." The members consist of David Johnson, Scott Koteskey, David Fuller, Kevin Freese and Matthew Penner.
Their debut EP Now And All At Once is available now on all digital platforms. The album was recently featured on NoiseTrade's New & Notable column stating "This Royal Nations's debut EP Now And All At Once is an endeavor of perspective. A concept album at its core, frontman David Johnson drew inspiration from a turbulent period in his life. "Perspective is why we fight and why we hide; it causes us both to hope and to doubt. When heartache threatens my thoughts, I look for new perspective." The album soars from start to finish by pairing anthemic choruses with introspective lyrics and indie pop melodies."
