Royal Headache - s/t - 7

Labels: R.I.P. Society
Review by: Adam Fleet

Ok I don’t want to oversell this, but it’s better than 10 Super Bowls! Sydney’s ROYAL HEADACHE offer up a 4 track debut 7″ of complete and utter joy. Taking a hearty influence from 60’s soul/pop bands as much as they do the garage punk rock, it’s all primal drumming, jangly guitar and throbbing bass. Throw in a dustbin production, the retro stylings of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, and hint of Ted Leo in the vocals and all you’re left to do is answer one question:

Q: Record of the year?

A: Record of the year.

Glorious.
