Palaye Royale: 10 records their fans should hear, from Jagger to Gerard

Palaye Royale seemingly came out of nowhere, armed with a weighty knowledge of rock history and a clear sense of what they didn’t want to be. From their flamboyant fashion sense all the way to their engaging time-machine rock, the band have begun to make their mark.

Whether you’re a proud soldier of the Royal Council or have only recently sworn your allegiance to The Bastards, there’s a lot to love about Palaye Royale. We’ve chosen 10 essential records for you to check out if you want to expand your musical horizons beyond the Boom Boom Room.
