A girl (PP) raised in Papua New Guinea as a preacher's daughter, set on saving souls and healing the sick, loses all religious beliefs and moves to London, England. Writes mournful acoustic songs. Gets bored of mournful acoustic songs and plays angry bashy-bashy tunes. Meets a boy called DJ at a bus stop in Uxbridge. He likes her tunes and they play music together. She buys an electric guitar. A number of young musician types like the sound of her tunes and also think DJ is one top dude. They hang out. They get on well.
They form Royal Treatment Plant.
Debut single release 'Carry Me' is released on Edinburgh based Human Condition Records October 2006.
PP is described as 'a girl worth spilling your beer for' by Disorder Magazine. This greatly pleases her.
Radio play follows from the likes of Sara Darling (Xfm), Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio 6), Huw Stephenson (BBC Radio 1), Vic Galloway (BBC Radio Scotland), James Clarke (BBC Radio Newcastle), Jeremy Sallis (BBC Radio Cambridge).
PP gets a reply email from Richard Bacon at Xfm saying he might play their tunes but he doesn't.
2007 brings the press's attention. They get selected by the Camden Crawl Indie Idle people as one of the 20 final bands. They support The Sounds at Club NME, they tour up north, they play London lots and lots. And that's about where they're up to.
PRESS
Liveonstage, ‘late-night border breakers, swerving recklessly between modern takes on some sort of beatnik rock with fatter bass grooves… Thank God for front women like Princess P: she is how they are meant to be…’
Time Out London: 'there's a Long Blondes feel to this slice of 'grrl power' indie... RTP sound more pumped-up, less self-conscious and actually quite catchy'
Disorder Magazine: 'Royal Treatment Plant are a band who could rock an AGM. They should be on the cusp of big things. They’re pedalling a unique brand of hook-happy, addictive pop punk that constantly darts off in unexpected directions, and are more on it with every show.'
Artrocker: ‘…aurally delectable, like Sonic Youth meets a scrubbed Babes in Toyland’
'the-mag':'Royal Treatment Plant's template of headrush guitars and icily sweet vocals always promised thrills, and it seems they've finally figured how to alchemise this into gold'
