Stunning second album from Royal Headache, 2015’s underground pop sensation.

Royal Headache’s follow-up retains their self titled debut’s swagger, pop hooks and grace but adds extra romance and instant appeal. The amount of emotion and range of Shogun’s vocals and the whipsmart counterpoint provided by the band – drummer Shortty, guitarist Law and bassist Joe – present a dash through decades of pop history, recombining not just the music but all of the feelings of pain and joy elicited from audiences, supercharged and ready to explode once more.

Shogun’s voice and lyrics aren’t so much a secret weapon in Royal Headache’s arsenal as they are the front line – happiness and hurt soaring above the songs, driving home all the feelings within.

For fans of The Buzzcocks, The Strokes’ first album, Marked Men and The Undertones.

Coloured vinyl LP includes digital download code.

“Catchy is an understatement.” – Noisey

“The saccharine melody and yearning lyrics cultivate a sense of exultation, but Shogun’s delivery is also trenchant. His vocals have attack; every line starts with a jab, followed by a massage, not unlike the Undertones’ singer Feargal Sharkey. Impressively, three years after ‘Royal Headache’, there’s no inkling of diminishing returns for this approach. The essential thrills remain.” – Pitchfork

“A frighteningly tantalising return to form, all Kinks power chords and soulboy vocals.” – NME

“This is so me” – Steve Lamacq
