Today sees Wrexham-based outfit The Royston Club return with their exhilarating new single Shivers. For their first venture in to 2025, the band unveil a new found confidence as swaggering basslines meet intoxicating guitar riffs and commandeering vocals, all neatly packed together with an undying energy. Guitarist and main songwriter Ben Matthias says, “‘Shivers’ is a love song. I wrote it in the seaside village of Beaumaris, where the majority of this album was written. My girlfriend had made the trip to North Wales to spend a night with me there in the middle of a week writing, the next day she left again and I wrote this song.I wanted to portray how quickly and almost morbidly time can ‘slip away’ when you’re spending time with the one you love. Days can feel like hours when you’re with the right person and memories become intrinsically entwined to the point where time spent without them feels wasted.It’s the first song I’ve written in a minor key which I can only attribute to all The Cure I was listening to at the time and it was arranged in a much more patient way than anything else we’d worked on up to this point.” With a big summer run of festivals and live dates, it's an exciting introduction to the Wrexham band's latest chapter.
