Stephen Oliver discovers a confident and energetic release from the Wrexham outfit
Modern Sky
Released: 08.08.25
This is a confident sophomore release by Wrexham outfit The Royston Club. It stands out in a crowded indie guitar-driven band market by creating songs about the band’s life and the people they know. This, in turn, makes the lyrics relatable. Add in an energetic rhythm section and uplifting guitars and you have a very listenable collection of songs that linger in the memory. There’s even a reflective song about going home and dealing with 20 mph speed limits.
Rich Turvey’s production has succeeded in ensuring a large number of elements come through in what feels like a live experience on tracks like Glued To The Bed. Stadium ballad anthems including Cariad hint at bigger potential for a band clearly in their ascendancy.
