Rating: ★★★★★

Prepare to be blown away by The Royston Clubs' latest magnum opus, "Shaking Hips and Crashing Cars," a monumental achievement born from four years of relentless dedication by the band. Originally hailing from Wrexham but now proudly based in Liverpool, these down-to-earth lads have created an album that could easily be dubbed the best indie record since the noughties!

This raucous  record takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, seamlessly transitioning from rebellious anthems against the turbulence of young lives to a more contemplative and melancholic reflection on their troubles and relationships by the album's end. "Shaking Hips and Crashing Cars" is not merely an album; it's a brilliant piece of indie rock craftsmanship that stands as a testament to the band's artistic evolution.

The album kicks off with a bang, starting with the powerful "The Deep End," rival anything released  in 2023 and this year so far! "Shallow Tragedy" follows suit, captivating listeners with its infectious melody and punchiness into its chorus. The momentum continues with "Mrs Narcissistic," a song that has rightfully earned its place as one of the band's biggest hits.

As the journey unfolds, familiar favourites like "Cold Sweats," "Mariana," "Blisters," and "Believe it or Not" keep the excitement alive. "Cold Sweats" stands out, evolving with every listen, building into a truth-telling chorus accompanied by the lead guitar's soul-stirring intro—a refreshing departure from the album's otherwise driven chords and riffs.

"Shaking Hips and Crashing Cars" is more than an album; it's an experience that will have you dancing, singing along, and, at times, tearing up in equal measure. The Royston Clubs have struck gold with this release, showcasing a musical maturity that transcends their years. Each track is a carefully crafted gem, and the album as a whole is a celebration of indie rock at its finest.

The anticipation for what The Royston Club have in store next is palpable. If "Shaking Hips and Crashing Cars" is any indication, we're in for a thrilling journey with this exceptional quartet. Strap in and enjoy the ride because The Royston Club are undoubtedly on the fast track to indie rock greatness!
