Welsh four-piece The Royston Club have today shared the video to their brand new single The Patch Where Nothing Grows, the band's first new music since their debut album released in 2023 that saw them rise to #16 on the UK Official Album Chart. Premiered by Steve Lamacq on 6 Music earlier this week, the track sees them capture the raucous energy of their live sets and packages it neatly in to an infectious anthem, filed with insatiable melodies and soaring sing-along choruses. Guitarist and main songwriter Ben Matthias says, “This song is meant, at its core, as a cry to the person I was falling in love with at the time. It’s about that point in love when you want to spend every minute of your days and nights with that person but ultimately can’t be sure where the relationship is going.I try to come to terms with that in the chorus, admitting ‘I’ll fall gently in this grove, in the patch where nothing grows’ if the love isn’t ’necessary’. It’s an honest account of my viewpoint at the time and hopefully one many can relate to.”‘The Patch Where Nothing Grows’ was produced by Rich Turvey (Blossoms, Courteeners) and was recorded at Kempston Street Studio in Liverpool.
