Sydney’s breakneck, yet melodic, punk rockers Royal Headache will return this summer with their second album, High, out August 21st via What’s Your Rupture. It is the follow-up to their much lauded self-titled debut of 2011 which has steadily grown in influence and reputation over the past four years.

The title track (which we’ve had on repeat) manages to be catchy as hell while somehow reminding me of children’s TV classic Trumpton – in an entirely good way. Imagine that in a hinterland between The Replacements, The Saints, The Kinks and Cloud Nothings and if that doesn’t encourage you to hit the play button below then nothing will.

You can order from Bandcamp here.
