Sounds Like
a bit like the cardigans with some throwing muses, pixies and yyy's thrown in. and a bit like metallica. sometimes. well on one track anyway. that's cause Tom is a metallica fan. anyways why we should we tell you what we sound like? is what ur ears are 4. don't mean to be rude, mind.
be jeepers! The Fly (that cute cool free mag you get at good venues) liked our tune.
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. Mischa Pearlman, The Fly, Apr 07 2008 12:50 pm
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.

holy shit balls we got in the NME. we think they think we are lying. well not all of us. just pp. LIAR!
'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?'
That'll learn em.
MOST ROTTEN REVIEWS OF ALL TIME OF OUR MUSIC. YOU GOTTA TAKE THE GOOD WIV DA BAD. THE ROSES WITH THE SHITE. LOVERS N HATERS. LIFE IS HARD. BUT ITS ALSO VERY, VERY FUNNY.

... it descends into the sort of art-rock sound made by overly enthusiastic 18 year olds students who think they’ve the very essence of alternative! Expect to see the band touring round the local flea pit toilet venues; where they’ll stay!
3/10
Bring on the flea pit toilet venues! never seen a flea yet, hmmm...lots of toilets though...
Also available at all good record stores including HMV.
Tom Robinson played us on his show - hurrah! we love Tom! we love Tom! we love Tom!
And here is our new video for our single Undercurrent out July 21st which 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 English spring time sun (yes! its true!) and the back stage area of one of London's top West End Theaters (a prize if you can guess it). Undercurrent (Royal Treatment Plant)
And the video for our first single Get Played filmed in the divinely beautiful Bush Hall, Shepherd's Bush, London with some very lovely people called Joe Tumner, Barrington and Deena, plus the super duper lazer operator known as Hannah Bannana.

ROYAL TREATMENT PLANT
Many a rock journeyman would describe themselves as a missionary, preaching the cause of kick-bottom rock’n’roll rebel-rousing to the savage masses. But very few have actually got their healing hands dirty converting heathens to their strict Christian ways. In fact, besides Kings Of Leon, there might well just be one.
From preaching holy law to the farm-folk of New Guinea to dragging the uninitiated to worship at the altar of melodic punk as singer in Royal Treatment Plant, PP has trodden an unconventional path to rock enlightenment. In fact, it was only when she escaped the church at eighteen after God was rather vague in his selection of a husband for her, that PP was exposed to the unholy trinity of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll in that demonic circle of subsidized lager and rugby soc depravity they call the University system. “In the church that I was in you weren’t allowed to have boyfriends, God told you who to marry. So suddenly a few guys told me that God had told them they had to marry me and I went ‘oh man, this is all wrong, I’m outta here,' and ended up heading to London”.
Freshly inspired by Pixies, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Muse and the wonders of normality, PP set about playing solo acoustic gigs around London, suddenly enraptured with the rock’n’roll dream. When bass players started asking for one hundred pounds a gig though, she resorted to asking the first guy she met at a bus stop in Uxbridge with a bass over his back if he wanted to jam. The guy turned out to be DJ, a Brunel University student fresh out of a Stone Roses style school band and looking for other musical options.
You wait ages for a struggling, tortured artiste and then two come along at once. If not heaven, PP and DJ were certainly a marriage made in an Uxbridge bus station, and the pair began gigging around the London acoustic circuit, at the 12 Bar Club in Denmark Street and the Bedford Arms.
It was only after recruiting guitarist Sam, keyboardist Tom and drummer Chris in 2006 that The Rock really began to take hold, teased out of them by demo recording sessions with Jamie Watson (producer of early Snow Patrol) in Edinburgh. “Edinburgh was our first little break. Jamie liked the stuff so much he said ‘lets release it’.”
So, with their folk songs being reborn as kick-ass rock behemoths, RTP’s first single ‘Carry Me’ was released on Edinburgh’s Human Condition Records.
As the gigs got more riotous and the demo sessions got more frequent, Royal Treatment Plant’s modus operandi developed: the sharp, serrated guitar bite and cherubic coos of Metric or Yeah Yeah Yeahs laced with scathing socio-personal lyrics like acid on the soul.
Gaining numerous plays on US radio station KROQ, nods of approval from peers like The Automatic and Los Campesinos! , a slew of memorable press for brand new single ‘Get Played’ and a second single 'Undercurrent' due June 16th (both taken from the debut album 'Hope Is Not Enough' (July 7th)), 2008 is proving a busy one for RTP!
As a friend of Killaflaw we'd like to give you the opportunity of purchasing our uniquely numbered, limited edition CD single 'Revolution' which also includes the much loved 'Holy Fuck' on the B side.
There are only 1000 copies in existence and further copies will be sold without these unique numbers, so here is your chance to own a piece of music history from the LIPA award winning band dubbed by Eddy dance/rock guru Temple-Morris "the missing link between Soundgarden and The Prodigy"
The record is of course also available to buy as MP3 download.
hope life is good, we have a new single up/out on our myspace page called the rage, and if that wasnt enough, five new tracks, plus heaps of exciting stuff happening, we have a clubnight at the barfly on the 25th oct, let me know if you want cheap tickets?
Great energetic performance from you at the Enterprise last night. Loved Undercurrent with PP dancing with the balloons. Good to see the venue packed too.
Sometimes I ask the lazy angels watching over me To go help someone out - and all they've got to do is just believe. They've got to have a little kindness somewhere deep inside. Have a royal treatment plan - to replace the tears they've cried They have to have a little humble behind elegance They have to make the music magic so the kids will dance
And these angels - they'll do this for me if I ask It's not me throwing in the towel I'm just sending them on to you - because you deserve this chance I'm sending them on to you because you're closer than I've ever been It'd be selfish if I kept them here.. so when you make it - Just remember me. When you make it to the top Just remember me.
hey guys, thanks for the invite to your gig on saturday, however unfortunately i can't make it as i have a band rehearsal that evening :( sorry guys, see you soon. Have a wicked gig. Danny x
