Royal Treatment Plant – Get Played

The debut single from Royal Treatment Plant ahead of the release of mini-album Hope Is Not Enough, Get Played starts out as a good rocking tune with added 80′s style synth. And it manages to jog along all good and well enough with preacher’s daughter PP providing fine femme-rock vocals but the whole thing is just slightly too art-rock for those of us not “privileged” enough to live in London, attend an Art School or frequent Glasgow’s Merchant City cool bars. Plenty of style but just not enough substance in the foundations yet, think Russell Brand’s “China… China…? Are you in Tibet? GET OUT!!!” radio references – the intention and idea is good, it just somehow loses significance somewhere amongst the posturing.

Burn The Witch is like the bastard child of Iron Maiden and AC/DC which means if you’re still reading this you’ve more than likely worn your hair long & greasy, cut the sleeves off a band t-shirt, combined leather & denim in obscene ways and chosen partners based only on how slutty they’ll look standing [...]
