Palaye Royale are leading a generation in togetherness through honesty, danger and infectious art-punk. They have clocked up over 40 million total streams on Spotify, over 43 million views on YouTube and have a combined social media following of over 1 million fans. The band have gone from playing any show they could whilst sleeping in their car to playing mega-arena shows with names as iconic as Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and Stone Sour, clocking up an incredible 700 shows in 4 years.

Palaye Royale have been teasing their 3rd studio album since last year. Lyrically, the album addresses a number of important issues, prevalent to today’s youth – struggles with mental health, the gun violence epidemic, substance use as a means to escape a difficult reality and parental abandonment all play a part in the album’s rich lyrical tapestry.

First single Lonely, features some of the most honest and heartbreaking lyrics ever written by frontman Remington Leith and the accompanying music video, which he also directed, is a perfect reflection of the difficult and deeply personal topics addressed by the song of childhood abandonment, mental health issues and drug use.

“Lonely is about the mental and physical abuse I endured as a child. Growing up, I went through so much shit and at points felt so low I couldn’t see a way out. It has effected me deeply throughout my life but I want the world to know that no matter what you’re going through, if I can make it out on the other side, so can you,” speaking on the track Remington.

Pre-orders for The Bastards are available now from www.palayeroyale.com with a huge variety of special pre-order items including a limited edition of leather jacket, mugs as well as a varitey of t-shirt designs, long-sleeve t-shirts, sweatshirts and a hoody.

Musically, new album is an enormous step-up for the band. It is, in turn, dark, lush, angry, vulnerable, caustic and warm. The Bastards demonstrates just how far the band have expanded their writing and musical dexterity, rounding out their already accomplished arson with flourishes of electronics, metal beat-downs, drum n bass beats and haunting string arrangements.

There are singles on the album, luminous highlights, but it’s also a piece of work that works beautifully when listened to as a whole. That, despite the fact that it was recorded in a variety of locations. In short, The Bastards is an album that demands your attention.
