Boom Boom Room (Side B)

Released in 2018, Boom Boom Room (Side B) serves as the darker, more introspective counterpart to Palaye Royale's debut, Side A. While the band's signature 'fashion-art rock' style remains central, this installment leans harder into the emotional weight of their experiences on the road and the mental toll of their rapid ascent. Recorded with a focus on capturing the raw energy of their live performances while maintaining a polished, cinematic sheen, the album showcases a significant growth in songwriting. Tracks like 'Dying in a Hot Tub' and 'Hospital Beds' highlight a willingness to tackle heavy themes of isolation and mental health, contrasting with the more traditional rock swagger of 'You'll Be Fine.' The album solidified the band's cult following, known as the 'Royal Council,' and established them as a bridge between the classic glam of the 70s and the modern alternative scene. It remains a pivotal moment in their discography, marking the transition from garage-rock upstarts to a more complex, multi-dimensional rock entity.
