BLOOD ON THE TRACK: Debuting in our Vibe-Raters roundup of buzzing acts this week is Warner Bros.' duo Royal Blood, who are already making serious noise in the U.K. (where they'll debut at #1 on the album chart an are already #1 on the iTunes album chart), while their "Figure It Out" is breaking at Rock and Active radio and crossing quickly to Alternative. The blazing track is the free single of the day at iTunes in the U.S., so you might wanna grab it and throw it on your "Get So Pumped Up I Could Punch a Freakin' Wall" mix. Is this a harbinger of a loud-rock renaissance? We're daring to hope so. In other Vibe news, Ariana Grande, Troye Sivan and KONGOS retain the top three spots and Meghan Trainor moves up four places. See the whole batch here, and rock on. (8/28p)
