ROYAL TRUXFrom the noisy demise of underground kingpins Pussy Galore came two interesting bands.
The first was Jon Spencer's blues deconstruction unit, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion;
the second was Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema's dissonant junkie nightmare
known as Royal Trux. Interestingly, both bands started out as avant-noise combos
playing little that resembled traditional rock & roll. That doesn't mean the music
they made was bad; it was rather a little difficult to figure out when they were really
into it or simply pulling your chain. What's amazing is that after a protracted period
of making harsh, nearly inaccessible records, both bands, by the mid-'90s, were
making records that sounded like '70s rock, only with gobs more attitude and noise.
Twin Infinitives Early Royal Trux records (two self-titled records
and Twin Infinitives) are, to say the least, extreme
"ROYAL TRUX"
Produced by Jennifer Herrera and Neil Hagerty

SLEEVE EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Royal Trux's eponymous debut album is a virtually unlistenable collage of primitive
guitar chords, clattering production, howled vocals, and sheer white noise.
Occasionally, the music showed signs of actual song structure, as well as shards
of Stonesy blues, but it generally sounded like an abrasive,
self-conscious deconstruction of classic rock.......If your tastes tend towards
noisy and chaotic, then this album is classic. The idea that they couldn't play
their instruments is laughable if you've ever seen any of the various incarnations
of Royal Trux live. They could play as intricately or as primitively as they needed
to in order to make the songs come alive, and that's all that really matters...(AllMusic)
