Tel-Aviv/Israeli based indie pop band RGB are gearing up for the release of their sophomore album, A Place for Lovers.

Palaye Royale’s latest album, Death or Glory is a must have!

September 3, 2024

Palaye Royale’s has released their latest album,  Death or Glory and it is a musical masterpiece.  We’ve been following Palaye Royale since our first listen back in 2013. We declared them as the Best Indie Rock Band You Have To Hear. Over the past decade, we’ve watched them grow in every sense—artistically, musically, and personally. Their evolution has been incredible to witness, especially considering the obstacles they’ve faced along the way. One of the most significant challenges and life changing moment was the heartbreaking loss of their mother, Stephanie, who was not only their biggest supporter but also their greatest champion and a true bright light in this world. To see them move forward and come through all of that and deliver Death or Glory is nothing short of amazing. This album feels like a culmination of everything they’ve been through, with their raw talent and vulnerability on full display. It’s a testament to their resilience and unwavering dedication to their craft. Death or Glory is not just another album—it’s the result of years of [Read More]
