Raised by fanatical Seventh Day Adventist missionairies in Papua New Guinea, heard nothing but Christian folk until the age of 18, awakened by the Biblical barkings of Pixies… so far Australasian Kings of Leon, right? And singer PP from Royal Treatment Plant’s upbringing has produced similarly cool and deviant avant-rock – this eight-track, 30-minute debut is all Metric alt.polish and Strokes serration, with songs about bitter break-ups (‘Hearts and Minds’) and drunken nights out on the anti-Jesus juice. For all PP’s doe-eyed cooing, there’s a vampiric roar of frustration bursting out of ‘You Don’t Need Me’ that suggests a heart to RTP as raw and bleeding as any Gallows mosher. Filthy/Regal.

Download: ‘You Don’t Need Me’
InfluencesYYY's, Metric, Pixies, Radiohead, Throwing Muses, Blonde Redhead.
Sounds Likea bit like the cardigans with some throwing muses, pixies and yyy's thrown in. and a bit like metallica.

Royal Treatment Plant ‘Get Played’
... like getting a slap in the face from the hottest girl in school, but then going back for more because you like her that much. Sharp, spiky, sexy, shuddering, shivering stuff.

NOIZE MAKES ENEMIES

Fronted by the preacher’s daughter turned indie rock goddess, Princess P, this dark electro-fused tale of debauchery clearly unleashes what has been a life of confined vitriol. RTP’s post-punk style works well with Princess P sounding like Debbie Harry crossed with an angry Tanya Donnelly on this very catchy tune.

By Alison Kerry www.noizemakesenemies.co.uk

holy shit balls we got in the NME. we think they think we are lying. well not all of us. just paula. LIAR!

Royal Treatment Plant’s minx-in-chief PP claims to have been raised in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Oh, and to have had a religious upbringing involving, er, preaching and being pressured to marry blokes who claimed God said they should be together. While this sounds like utter bollocks, her music does not. ‘Get Played’ is a joyous and exuberantly tinny bit of speed-punk extolling the virtues of going out and drinking a lot, which should be the ambition of any modern youngster, and it calls to mind the likes of L7 played at +8 on a Technics turntable in a room full of helium. PC

'are they calling me a liar?' wonders pp. 'do i need to show them my dads super 8 home movies of me spearing a wild boar as a small child in the highlands of new guinea?' she ponders. 'Or maybe a photo of me singing and dancing about jesus?'

Half As Much from Royal Treatment Plant on Vimeo
DJ our bass player shot and edited this really cool little video for our latest single half as much. froze our goddam asses off in the process!!!

And here is the video to undercurrent..... DJ and PP made with the help of Tom (light turner-onerer-offerer), Chris (hose pipe operator) and Bree (subtle yet beautifying lighting provider via hand held lamp while standing on ladder) and a bit of sun (sunshine, oh yes oh yes).

Get Played from Royal Treatment Plant on Vimeo.



Hailing from a childhood as a preachers kid raised in Papua New Guinea by evangelical parents, RTP's front woman Paula has a background that reads like a PR persons dream. But there's more to RTP than that. RTP started when Paula met DJ at a bustop in Uxbridge, London, London being the city of choice for an ex-religious fanatic raised in hte wilds of Papua New Guinea hell bent on escaping the familial ties. She needed a bass player. DJ was that bass player. They wrote tunes.

Inspired by Pixies, Muse, YYY’s, Blondie, Fugazi, Laura Veirs and the wonders of a more normal life they went on to play some gigs. Over time they collected Sam (he said he loved REM), Tom (he said he loved Metallica), and Chris (yeah I’m looking for a band to play in he said). The played more gigs and recorded songs.

Royal Treatment Plant's debut album Hope Is Not Enough was nominated for the XFM New Music Award on 2009, garnered praise from the NME and airplay on BBC Radio 1 (Album of the week – Huw Stephens), BBC Radio 6 (Steve Lamacq’s "single of the week" – Undercurrent), XFM (Steve Harris), MTV2 (Undercurrent vid) and also in LA on KROQ on Rodney On the Rock.

The album 'Hope Is Not Enough' is out in Australia and the UK now.
