Palaye Royales shows us an utopian world inside their third album “The Bastards”
This is Palaye Royale’s third studio album which addresses many subjects including mental and physical abuse especially on the track,’Lonely’ which has already been released as a single. Palaye Royals frontman Remington Leith explains that these were things ‘he endured as a child and the message is if he can get through them so can you’.
The concept behind this record is a utopian world created by the band. Speaking on this world he created with his brothers Emerson Barratt explains, ’It takes place around the island of Obsidian in the year 1888. In short it’s a place that started of with good intentions but sadly becomes fuelled by political power and evil. Remind you of somewhere? A full on rock and roll assault of an album and one that will appeal to many rock fans worldwide.
In short, THE BASTARDS is an album that demands your attention.The world needs Palaye Royale right now and Palaye Royale have delivered in spades.
