Australia's Royal Headache played energetic and catchy songs on Royal Headache (2011), mostly punk-pop that is not savage at all (like Surprise and Back and Forth), even bordering on Merseybeat of the 1960s (Down the Lane, the melodic peak). As a matter of fact, the most visceral songs (Psychotic Episode , Girls and Honey Joy) sound more like River-era Bruce Springsteen than punk-rock.

That passionate shouted melodic garage-rock dominates High (What's Your Rupture, 2015), but only Garbage fires up.

Despite his unquestionable talent, vocalist Tim "Shogun" Wall never managed to find an adequate band.
