May 29, 2012Royal Headache's debut begins in a pounding, pummeling riff-based rampage, all double-timed guitar strumming and frantic one-two drumming. "Never Again," the lead off track, runs as fast and hard and ragged as any punk anthem, taking the corners with two wheels off the ground.

May 25, 2012It's the sound of a cooking band truly cooking it in the studio. Everything sounds like it's about to jump the rails at any given moment.
-
May 25, 2012Their version of soul revival captures the sweat and fire of classic soul music better than almost anyone else in 2012.

May 25, 2012This is a sugar-spiked head-rush of a record that will undoubtedly rank as one of the best punk releases of 2012 and have people buzzing about this band for quite a while. Royal Headache is an absolute joy to listen to all the way through and hopefully signals the start of great things for the young band.

May 17, 2012A very pleasurable, punk-inspired listen. This is no-nonsense, fast-flying garage rock.

May 25, 2012With a handful of infectious hooks and a gem of a vocalist, Royal Headache has the tools to capture an arena audience by the ears.
