Vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release from Canadian punks Single Mothers. Written over the course of a week during a particularly challenging time for frontman and Single Mothers' only permanent member Drew Thomson, Roy is a complete anomaly not only within the music scene but within the band's own catalog. It's a far cry from the scathing hardcore rippers of their beloved 2014 release, Negative Qualities, and it bears little resemblance to the more mellowed post-punk sounds that populated 2022's Everything You Need. Instead, Roy dabbles a bit in Eighties New Wave and a bit in tripped-out indie-rock.
