Pulling from Buzzcocks and The Jam and with vocals that will remind you of a certain prolific beer-guzzling man from Ohio –coughPollardcough-, Australia’s Royal Headache took the world by storm with their genius self-titled masterpiece a few years back. Now the band returns with their latest LP High on What’s Your Rupture? due on August 21st. Catchy is an understatement.
Check out the title track and look out for the album, packed with highlights like the “My Own Fantasy,” “Need You,” and the personal album favorite “Carolina.”
