The Royston Club + Cusp + Rolling Thunder 

7.30pm, Thursday 2nd June, Bedford Esquires

The Royston Club are the Wrexham band tipped by Gigwise as “the new band from Wales most likely to do a Catfish”. The band signed to Run On Records (The Coral) and Modern Sky UK in early 2021, and their next two singles saw them fly past two million streams on Spotify alone and gain support from Radio X (Xposure Playlist), BBC 6 Music (Steve Lamacq & Tom Robinson), BBC Wales, BBC Introducing as well as Amazing Radio UK (C List) and US.

August & September 2021 saw the band embark on a scintillating debut UK tour, selling out all 12 dates with 3000 tickets sold. The band also made their Isle of Wight festival debut, and begin the Autumn with appearances at Sound City & Focus Wales, before heading on tour with SPINN, The Lathums and Red Rum Club.

The Welsh indie quartet are set to release new EP ‘lying here, wasting away’ on Friday 1st October via Run On Records/Modern Sky UK, with a limited run of 12” vinyl on Blood Records, with all 500 copies selling out in just three days.

The Royston Club are singer and guitarist Tom Faithfull, guitarist Ben Matthias, bassist Dave Tute and drummer Sam Jones.

Main support come from CUSP a brand new indie rock band from Milton Keynes. As a three-piece based around singer/songwriter Dan Stock’s songs, they have spent the last 5 years developing a sound that is reminiscent of classic pop but with a vibrant edge. They have stuck firmly to a belief of developing their craft in the background away from the eye of social media and aiming for long-term success by sheer creative work ethic.
They have now reached a point where they can’t keep their heads down any longer and have plotted a plan to begin sharing their already-expansive catalogue of music. Hot off the back of support slots with The Snuts they are gearing up in Summer ‘22 to pour all their energy into an early live show that promises to command attention.
Opening proceedings will be ROLLING THUNDER who return to Bedford Esquires with an arsenal of indie rock crowd pleasers as well as some new, soon to be released, songs.
Tickets available from Seetickets online and in person from Bedford Esquires Bar and Slide Record Store in Bedford.
