ROYAL TREATMENT PLANT are:

sam guitar and occasional melancholy cello

Royal Treatment Plant are set to release their single 'GET PLAYED' in Feb 2008. They have been selected to play Manchester's In The City Electric showcase 2007 and recently gained attention with an acoustic performance on Xfm (Alex Zane's Breakfast Show). If you get to a live gig be prepared for an onslaught of energy and sound and a relentless exorcism of pp's blackened soul. From preacher's daughter to punk - rock goddess, the road's been a little rocky.

RTP released their debut single in 2006 on Edinburgh’s Human Condition Records and have also recordedwith Justin Underhill (Mystery Jets, Ladyfuzz, Bloc Party), Christopher H. Bourke, Gilles Rupprt and most recently recorded the new single 'GET PLAYED' with Teo Miller (Placebo, Blur, The Auteurs, Daisy Chainsaw).

Although RTP cite influences in the Throwing Muses/Pixies vein, there's a Long Blondes feel to this slice of 'grrl power' indie. RTP, on this evidence, sound more pumped-up, less self-conscious and catchy when you get to the chorus.

ARTROCKER, 2006 ‘…aurally delectable, like Sonic Youth meets a scrubbed Babes in Toyland’

the-mag 2007

Royal Treatment Plant's template of headrush guitars and icily sweet vocals always promised thrills, and it seems they've finally figured how to alchemise this into gold. Princess P is maturing into a bona fide stage goddess ...

Disorder Magazine 2007
Royal Treatment Plant are a band who could rock an AGM.. Frontwoman Princess P does a good line in infectious, hair-flicking theatrics: she’s a girl worth spilling your beer for.

The List, Scotland 2006
The London five-piece... deliver a no-frills fuck you of riffing indie pop, like Blondie or The Runaways airdropped into a new century.

BANDWAGON 2006 Tipped for the Top 2006Their brand of high octane art rock is a welcome blast of unpretentious & infectious rock n roll. Ones To Watch!

LIVEONSTAGE, 2006 ‘late-night border breakers, swerving recklessly between modern takes on some sort of beatnik rock with fatter bass grooves… Thank God for front women like Princess P: she is how they are meant to be…’

UKMUSICSEARCH, 2006Going from strength to strength, London based five piece Royal Treatment Plant are a band surely standing on the precipice of superstardom. With their first proper release, CARRY ME, they make good on all that early promise; taking everything that was so great about early demos and live shows and distilling it into a debut single that demands you love and cherish it...Royal Treatment Plant are destined for greatness.

... full of driving guitars and some fantastic passive-agressive vocals sung with an urgency that doesn’t often seem to crop up from female fronted British bands.
‘Carry Me’...comes highly recommended. I can’t say enough good things about b-side ‘Playing Dumb’, which is certainly amongst my favourite songs of the year.

This London 5-piece is a delicious unsigned find. Trembling guitar riffs and ominous basslines are iced over with the glossy, languid tones of vocalist, Princess P, as RTP find themselves somewhere between the quirk of the Dresden Dolls, the garage rock of Sonic Youth and the indie rock stylings of The Long Blondes (except – in terms of the latter – with superior vocals, better tunes and more sincerity!). New single, Carry Me comes out on Oct 16, and my personal tip is the absolutely brilliant b-side, Playing Dumb.

The Plastic Ashtray Oct 2006
Royal Treatment Plant are that band that have come of age. Their 4 track EP 'Carry Me' brings us up to date. The band play angular rock n roll. Think Metric, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sonic Youth & Throwing Muses. First track 'Carry Me' reminds me of Yeah Yeah Yeahs before they got too involved in their own image rather than the stripped down fun they had early on... Ones To Watch!

Tipped for the Top on Bandwagon

We’ve said it all before but a second mention for RTP, who are wholly deserving of the lavished praise. With the new single now playlisted on 6Music, our hopes are high.

Royal Treatment Plant didn’t even bother going to class: they already know it all. They are not afraid to throw the first punch, they aren’t afraid to get stuck in and they are making some promising and enduring music in the process.

Thesubtle and almost melodramatic Princecess P “makes the dark side seem attractive” and with delivery like hers it won’t be long until we all succumb to it, to the power and to The Force.

MANCHESTER MUSIC 2006

The obvious comparisons would be Karen O meets Nina “Cardigans” Persson, although resolutely English. There’s more to this band than just another bunch of post-punk guitar-slingers... Ones to watch.
