The Royston Club Releases New Song “Shivers”
Wrexham-based indie rock band The Royston Club, consisting of Tom Faithfull (vocals/guitar), Ben Matthias (guitar), Dave Tute (bass) and Sam Jones (drums), released a new song “Shivers” on April 23, 2025.
The song is their first single of 2025, following “The Patch Where Nothing Grows” released last August.
It was written by Ben Matthias, Dave Tute, Sam Jones, and Tom Faithfull. Produced by Rich Turvey, who also produced the previous song “The Patch Where Nothing Grows”.
The accompanying music video was directed by Sam Crowston.
The band guitarist Ben Matthias said of the song, “'Shivers' is a love song. I wrote it in the seaside village of Beaumaris, where the majority of this album was written. My girlfriend had made the trip to North Wales to spend a night with me there in the middle of a week writing, the next day she left again and I wrote this song.”- He continued, “I wanted to portray how quickly and almost morbidly time can ‘slip away’ when you’re spending time with the one you love. Days can feel like hours when you’re with the right person and memories become intrinsically entwined to the point where time spent without them feels wasted.”
He added, “It’s the first song I’ve written in a minor key which I can only attribute to all The Cure I was listening to at the time and it was arranged in a much more patient way than anything else we’d worked on up to this point.” - source : Apple Music
