About Palaye Royale
Palaye Royale, comprised of brothers Remington Leith (vocals), Sebastian Danzig (guitar/organ), and Emerson Barrett (drums), have carved out a truly unique niche in the contemporary rock landscape. Hailing from Las Vegas, the band first burst onto the scene with a sound and image that harked back to the glam of the 70s and the raw energy of early punk, all while forging a path distinctly their own. Their journey began with independent releases, culminating in their signing to Sumerian Records and the release of their debut full-length, “Boom Boom Room (Side A),” in 2016. This album, along with its 2018 follow-up “Boom Boom Room (Side B),” showcased their knack for crafting anthemic tracks with deeply personal lyrics, such as fan favourites “Mr. Doctor Man” and “Lonely.”
Their style is often described as “fashion-art rock,” a label they’ve embraced, reflecting their dedication to visual aesthetics as much as their sonic output. Each album cycle sees a distinct evolution in their narrative and presentation, from the vintage, almost cinematic feel of their early work to the more introspective and expansive soundscapes of “The Bastards” (2020) and “Fever Dream” (2022). Their music explores themes of identity, mental health, and the pursuit of artistic freedom, resonating deeply with a dedicated global fanbase. With their dynamic lineup and a discography that consistently pushes boundaries, Palaye Royale continue to solidify their status as one of rock’s most exciting and innovative acts, promising a performance that’s as much a theatrical experience as it is a concert.
