The Royston Club

They say the bonds formed as teenagers are the strongest. In that case, Wales’ main contenders The Royston Club are an unbreakable unit, formed in Wrexham by schoolfriends Ben Matthias (Guitar), Tom Faithfull (lead vocals, guitar) Dave Tute (Bass), later adding Sam Jones (drums). After the lineup was complete, things moved fast: they hit the ground running, performing a run of high-energy gigs in their hometown, self-recording and releasing demos to an ever-expanding and devoted fanbase.
