Wrexhams The Royston Club return in Summer 2025 with Songs For The Spine a soaring, emotionally-charged second album that captures a band stepping up and standing tall. Opening track Shivers sets the tone immediately: a dark love song that channels the spirit of The Cure at their most euphoric, and signals a bold new era for the band. Recorded at Liverpools Kempston Street Studios with acclaimed producer Richard Turvey (Blossoms, The Courteeners), and released via Run On / Modern Sky Records, this
is the sound of a group at the peak of their powers.

Following the success of their Top 20 debut Shaking Hips and Crashing Cars and a sold-out UK tour in 2024, The Royston Club have emerged tighter, louder, and more emotionally driven. Songs For The Spine builds on the bands signature indie DNA while embracing something weightier and more expansive. The soul-baring The Patch Where Nothing Grows is already resonating as a fan anthem, while tracks like Crowbar shimmer with glad-but-sad disco nostalgia. Cariad wears its heart firmly on its sleeve, and The
Ballad Of Glen Campbell brings the record to a cinematic close.

At its core, this is a collection of songs about the people and places that hold you up the emotional backbone of everyday life.

Theres love, loss, guilt, longing and joy in these ten tracks, delivered with a raw honesty and a more human, less polished sound than before. The band and Turvey purposely embraced imperfection in the studio, leaning into live takes and leaving in the edges that give these songs their pulse.

Songs For The Spine is the sound of The Royston Club turning a breakthrough into a mission statement urgent, ambitious, and unafraid to evolve. If the first album was a sprinting start, this is a victory lap with the road wide open ahead.
