Royal Treatment Plant

Great British Hopes collects the very best in unsigned acts from the UK.

This week saw the release of the first proper release from , the eight song Hope is Not Enough. Over the past two years, the band have really blossomed, moving up from a rough support act for Los Campesinos! into a solid band in their own right. Their excesses have been reigned in and everything is a little bit more polished. In a lot of bands I would be moaning about that, but in works in Royal Treatment Plant’s favour. The vocals of lead PP have undergone the most significant change. Now moving between sweet and bitter and aggressive at just the right moments, she dictates the tone of these songs perfectly. Crack Whore, one of the gentler songs on the record, demonstrates this growth perfectly.
