The Royston Club are a Welsh indie rock band formed in Wrexham in 2019 by Tom Faithfull (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Ben Matthias (lead guitar), Dave Tute (bass), and Sam Jones (drums).
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 andâÂÂthrough a good friendâÂÂthey 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 manâÂÂs club in Acrefair called âÂÂRoyston Clubâ when visiting his grandparents and thought, âÂÂthatâÂÂll do!â In March, 2019âÂÂabout three months after their formationâÂÂthey released their debut single âÂÂShawshankâÂÂ, and went on to release âÂÂWasterâ and âÂÂKeroseneâ later that year in May and October, respectively, which received some radio play.
