The band started off doing covers of garage punk and old blues songs until their own warped creations surfaced in the early 90s. A few years later they signed to the Swiss based Voodoo Rhythm records (now a veritable institution of antiheroes) and later released 'Forgotten Million Sellers' in 1998, with a real mix of blasting energy, strung-out experimentation and all-out-noise-romps. This is now impossible to find, but has been reissued 30th March 2012.

The 'Black Swan at Christmas' e.p. followed in 2004 and 'Because of Women' in 2006. Things take their time in Roysworld. Alain, from the Neuchatel based 'Come n' Go' (also a Voodoo Rhythm band) joined in 2009, adding percussion, vocals and harmonica, giving them a looser, groovier, but equally raw and powerful, feel. The third album 'Tell It to the People' bears this influence, and came out 30th March 2012. Like all of their recordings it is all self-recorded, produced, mixed and mashed.

We're not as young as we used to be
But baby I don't mind
'Cause growing old with you is gonna be
Full of life and good times

And if I had it to do all over again I'd do it with you
I wouldn't want to miss a thing that we've been through
Baby, nothing can compare to the good love that we've shared

And if I had to do it all over again I'd do it with you

Looking back on life I can't complain
It ain't been easy but don't you know
We still had sunshine even when it rained
And we've shared a love you have known

And if I had it to do all over again I'd do it with you
I wouldn't want to miss a thing that we've been through
Baby, nothing can compare to the good love that we've shared
And if I had to do it all over again I'd do it with you

And if I had it to do all over again I'd do it with you
I won't want to miss a thing that we've been through
Baby, nothing can compare to the good love that we've shared

And if I had to do it all over again I'd do it with you
And if I had to do it all over again I'd do it with you
