Royal Trux is an American alternative rock band that was originally active from 1987 to 2001. The band, founded by Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema, reunited in 2015 and signed with Fat Possum records in 2018. However, as of 2019, Hagerty has left the band once again after not approving of their finished album "White Stuff." Throughout their career, Royal Trux has been known for their unique sound and experimental approach to music.

With influences ranging from punk to blues, Royal Trux has carved out a distinct place in the alternative rock scene. Their music often combines elements of noise rock, garage rock, and psychedelic rock to create a raw and gritty sound that sets them apart from other bands. Known for their energetic live performances, the duo's chemistry on stage is palpable.

Often compared to artists such as *Pussy Galore*, *Pere Ubu*, and *The Jesus Lizard*, Royal Trux has influenced a generation of musicians with their unconventional style. With albums like "Twin Infinitives" and "Accelerator," they have pushed boundaries and challenged traditional notions of what rock music can be.

Fat Possum Records is a label that was established in 1991 with the sole purpose of recording R.L. Burnside. Over time, it evolved into a mission to discover and record the last remaining original bluesmen before they passed away. Despite facing various challenges such as difficult personalities, limited songs, and a raw sound that didn't fit the mainstream blues market, these artists possessed immense talent and truly lived the blues.

In recent years, Fat Possum has expanded its catalog to include newer indie blues rock bands alongside their traditional offerings.

cd reissue of royal trux's 1993 fourth album, and the last one signed to drag city / domino; because of this great record, royal trux were signed to virgin records later on that year. since their early releases were so disjointedly frazzled that the phrase 'better living through chemistry' suddenly sounded like a ruse, it was quite a surprise when truxsters jennifer herrema and neil hagerty found their groove on this 1993 release. yes, it's still shaky and slurred, but with distinct elements of exile on main street-era stones and unreconstructed biker rock thrown into the mix on tracks like 'skywood greenback mantra' and the hazily uplifting 'let's get lost.' hagerty's playing - an eye-opening fusion of neil young lope and magic band-derived jitters - is plenty bracing on its own, but when wedded to herrema's dissipated, bluesy rasp, the effect is truly galvanizing. keep on truxin', indeed.
