Biography

Rockaway, NJ's Royden formed following the breakup of My Cousin Ray, a local band vocalist Treebo, drummer Nick, and bassist Kerry had previously been playing in together. Demos recorded near the end of that group's life garnered last-minute attention from a local indie, so the trio decided to put a band back together to release music through the label. Guitarist Tim joined up in January 2004 as the band, now dubbed Royden, entered the studio for a week to churn out the debut EP of the guys' punk-hardcore-metal concoction. Best Friends Our Worst Enemies appeared that May to the delight of their local scene. The band toured around the East Coast and Midwest with second guitarist Frank Rosania on board, but upon his subsequent departure, Justin Sherwood signed on. They continued touring throughout summer 2005, and by fall Royden had inked a deal with California's Hopeless Records, which reissued their EP in April 2006. Spring and summer were spent on headlining dates as well as opening slots for bands like Showbread and Action Action. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide

After breakup

After the breakup of their former band, My Cousin Ray, Nick, Treebo, and Kerry parted ways to pursue individual interests. But the three men are back together once more. Five demos cut at the bitter end of their former bands existence would soon attract the attention of a small, independent New Jersey label. After some discussion, the three were convinced to begin practicing together once again with the goal of making a 5 song EP for this independent label. They have now started a new band called Hollywood Reckless.

New guitarist, debut EP

Shortly thereafter the search began for new another guitarist. Based on the recommendation of friends, Tim was soon added to the band in January 2004. What ensued after his addition was 20 straight days practicing, followed by one hectic week of recording, yielding the band's first five song EP entitled Best Friends Our Worst Enemies. The EP debuted in May 2004, and with the addition of Frank Rosania and the bands second guitarist the band quickly gained notoriety in NJ. After a multitude of shows, one east coast our, and a number of Midwestern treks, Frank decided to leave Royden to pursue other interests in March 2005.
