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.

back in stock. the seminal avant-garde noise-rock group royal trux is the project of jennifer herrema and former pussy galore member neil hagerty. the most experimental and fractured album of its career, 1990's 'twin infinitives' epitomizes the duo's early lo-fi aesthetic (the band would later grow to incorporate elements of '70s hard rock and somewhat more traditional song structures). drawing on the influence of sonic youth, sound conceptualist composers, and 'white light / white heat' - era velvet underground, royal trux builds a swirling cacophony here of distorted guitar riffs, squiggly synthesizer lines, and spoken-word performances to truly unsettling aural effect. at only four subdivided tracks, none of which clock in under 15 minutes, the record has plenty of time to weave a mesmerizing web that is sometimes menacing, sometimes startling. for all of its high-brow allusions, 'twin infinitives' nearly reeks of vice; a dark, sordid feel pervades the record, and the listener can almost picture the band recording in a filthy apartment in the middle of the night in various states of intoxication and debauchery. this aura is part of the music's charm, however; and the album invites us on its primal journey through a seedy sonic nightmare.
