Reissue des Debuts der Truppe um ex-Pussy Galore Neil Haggerty und Jennifer Herema. „Royal Truxþs debut is a shattering, at times almost psychobilly, Trout Maskian, harmolodic, thick slab of Bad Blood. Not since Like Flies On Sherbert has an album sounded so electric, and so masterfully chaotic.”

1000 copies worldwide. Deluxe freshly remastered edition of Royal Trux's seminal debut album, originally released on their own Royal Records label in 1988.
Fierce and uncompromising, this long overdue re-issue comes with rejuvenated artwork and brand-new liner notes.

Formed in 1987 by Neil Hagerty (vocals, guitar), formerly of Pussy Galore, and his then girlfriend Jennifer Herrema (vocals), Royal Trux successfully dismantled alternative rock with a discordant guitar and time signatures akin to Miles Davis on an unholy mission circa 'Bitches Brew' or Manson strumming in his prison cell. Often described as a garage rock act, Royal Trux were far more complex, an unravelling surge of ideas, influences, mangled theories and out-there meandering, setting the blueprint for lo-fi indie amid their intricate reflections on their self-destructive lifestyle.
