From preaching holy law to the farm-folk of New Guinea to dragging the uninitiated to worship at the altar of melodic punk as singer in Royal Treatment Plant, PP has trodden an unconventional path to rock enlightenment. In fact, it was only when she escaped the church at eighteen after God was rather vague in his selection of a husband for her, that PP was exposed to the unholy trinity of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. Hopping a plane to London and reshly inspired by Pixies, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Muse and the wonders of normality, PP set about playing solo acoustic gigs suddenly enraptured with the rock’n’roll dream. When bass players started asking for one hundred pounds a gig though, she resorted to asking the first guy she met at a bus stop in Uxbridge with a bass over his back if he wanted to jam. The guy turned out to be DJ, a Brunel University student fresh out of a Stone Roses style school band and looking for other musical options. And so with the appearance of Tom on keys and Sam on guitar fresh from Goldsmith College’s music studies and Chris on drums, Royal Treatment Plant was formed. 2008 has seen their debut album Hope Is Not Enough (July 08) hit the stores and the airwaves of XMF, NME radio, Q radio, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 amongst others. | |
