Wrexham band The Royston Club return with their fantastic and eagerly awaited debut album ‘Shaking Hips and Crashing Cars’. With their fresh, upbeat indie rock sound, this album will have you singing along with their highly infectious hook lines. For the fans they have released an exclusive deluxe pink vinyl and very limited bonus 7″ vinyl with three acoustic tracks.

These guys are definitely ones to watch in the years ahead. After only being on the circuit for two years the band have already completed two headline tours selling around 8,000 tickets. They are favourably Supported by BBC 6Music, Radio 1, Radio X, BBC Wales and among others.

The band consists of Tom Faithfull (Lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Ben Matthias (Lead guitar) Sam Jones (Drums), Dave Tute (Bass).

The Royston Club describe the record as “A raw, frenetic crowd of songs, through which you can hear the drunken nights spent screaming our favourite songs at the top of our lungs and the consequent hangovers, each bouncing gig and its dormant green room, the freedom of touring along with the panicked inner nag to get a real job. The brotherly love we have for one another and the burning appetite to make music that we cherish and enjoy.”

“A lot of the lyrical meanings and stories told on our album are very melancholic and bitter, yet the accompanying music is very upbeat and ‘danceable’. I really liked this juxtaposition and the idea of people dancing along to a song about depression so tried to encapsulate that in an album title. The album is a collection of stories and feelings from the past three years of our lives. The late teens and early twenties are frantically transformative for everyone, and these are some cherry-picked moments from our experience of those years.”
