| "Roy Killed John Train" is the second full length and fifth overall release by the band. The band has previously released records on Fueled By Ramen and Initial Records. "Roy Killed John Train" is a significant leap from Big City Sin. While the melodies, smart lyrics, and genre-hopping of previous work are still present, Roy has pushed ahead into new territories. Favoring messed-up chords to standard major-chord folkisms, sparse drumming to bashing cymbals, delay to distortion, '60s and '70s artists for inspiration instead of indie records from the late '80s and early '90s, and quietly sowing the seeds instead of crashing out of the gates, Roy has taken a new approach to their band. Roy consists of ex and current members of Botch, These Arms are Snakes, and Harkonen. |
