Palaye Royale are a Canadian fashion-rock trio (Remington Leith, Sebastian Danzig and Emerson Barrett), currently based in Las Vegas. The band is named after the Toronto dancehall where their grandparents met in the 1950s. Combining fast-paced dirty rock ‘n’ roll, glam, sweat, showmanship and song-writing, Palaye Royal aim to build a bridge between the swinging cool of the ‘60s and the swagger of latter day Brit Pop. The Animals singer Eric Burdon’s daughter Alex persuaded the founder of the Sumerian label to go and see the band. He offered them a contract the same night.

So far, Palaye Royal put out two albums: Boom Boom Room Part 1 and Part 2. Additionally, they released 3 singles in anticipation of album #3. Perfectly timed for Halloween, the band’s latest single is a smash. Hang On To Yourself by Palaye Royale is this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard!
