Palaye Royale releasenew EP ‘Songs For Sadness‘ via Sumerian Records, out now! A swift follow up from the band’s ‘Sextape‘ EP released at the end of the year.
‘Songs For Sadness’ is the musical antithetical sibling of ‘Sextape’, seeing the band embrace their earlier Emo influences, 80s synths and balladry. It’s a softer, romantic and more introspective side of Palaye Royale – in stark contrast to their previous EP’s heavier elements.

‘Sextape’ concluded a monumental year for the trio, which saw them celebrate massively successful album ‘Fever Dream’ with their biggest run of headline shows in the EU + UK, including a sold out show at London’s Eventim Apollo, as well as a packed out set at Reading & Leeds Festival, and ‘Songs For Sadness’ primes the band for their biggest year yet, with the band set to release another even longer form project, with more details to be shared soon. They’re also confirmed for festivals like Slam Dunk in the UK & France, as well as Tons of Rock in Norway and Ilosaarirock in Finland. Full dates can be found below, with more to be announced very soon.
Equal parts brit-pop, glam rock and art-punk, Palaye Royale has amassed over a billion streams throughout their career and earned a legion of cult-like fans with their fast-paced dirty rock’n’roll. First landing in Los Angeles as teenagers, the brothers worked their way up through the ruthless L.A. rock scene going from playing basement shows while living out of their car to headlining arenas around the world. And whether they’re taking the stage at major festivals like Reading and Leeds, Download and Pinkpop or playing to sold-out crowds in such far-flung locales as Amsterdam, Prague and Mexico City, the band’s most crucial ambition is to deepen their rarefied connection with their beloved fanbase, lovingly dubbed the Soldiers of the Royal Council.
