Royal Bliss was formed in 1997 in Salt Lake City , Utah when guitarist Chris Harding met singer Neal Middleton at one of the latter’s local solo performances. They were both high school students at the time. The two then recruited additional guitarist Taylor Richards, drummer Jake Smith, and bassist Tommy Gunn. After releasing two EPs, the band released their first full-length album King Size in 2001. The band has attracted media attention for its bad luck. Smith was in a serious car accident in 2003. In 2004, Middleton was severely injured in a fall from a balcony and was temporarily paralyzed, needing a lengthy rehabilitation period.
