The Royston Club are a Welsh indie rock band formed in Wrexham in 2019 by Tom Faithfull, Ben Matthias, Dave Tute, and Sam Jones.

History

2017–2019: Formation and early singles

In 2017, Faithfull, Matthias, and Tute played mainly covers together in secondary school due to their shared interest in indie music. When Matthias began to write original songs, he realised they needed a drummer and—through a good friend—they found Jones, who joined in late 2018. The four started an open mic night at local pub Saith Seren, where they received praise, helping their confidence and leading them to continue pursuing music.
While looking for a band name, Matthias repeatedly saw an old man’s club in Acrefair called “Royston Club” when visiting his grandparents and thought, “that’ll do!” In March, 2019—about three months after their formation—they released their debut single “Shawshank”, and went on to release “Waster” and “Kerosene” later that year in May and October, respectively, which received some radio play.
