The Royal Court of China was formed in Nashville in 1985. The band named themselves after the nickname for high quality Chinese Opium. The band’s initial EP debut (self-produced in 1986) which landed them a record deal with A&M records and a tour with REO Speedwagon, was not a hard rock album. The band found themselves at odds and quickly split up. A couple of the band members reformed the band soon after, and their self-titled album was released in 1987.

By 1989, the band decided to take a heavier approach with the release of the metal album Geared & Pinned. This album is a hard rock album, but still contains some underpinnings of the band’s punk history. By 1992, the band had split, but did reform again in the 2000’s for a new studio album.
