Truth, honesty and angst is what we aimed to capture collectively as a band throughout this writing process. We found a new appreciation for one another during this recording process, becoming more accepting of our past and more satisfied with our present because of the art we created in what we feel is our most important music we’ve released to date. Punching Bag and No Love In LA we’ve gone beyond what we ever thought possible musically and lyrically by putting faith in each other, trusting our instincts and allowing real creative freedom to ourselves and our producer, Chris Greatti. It is with massive excitement and feelings of triumph that we raise the curtain on what is most certainly our boldest era yet. We hope you’re ready for the journey. x

One is modern. One is classic. One is avant-garde. Put the three together? Timeless.

Top cool things in the world: 3- Sebastian can play guitar in suit 2-Sebastian can skate board in suit 1-sebastian can play piano in suit

3:07 Can we talk about how deftly Seb doges that swinging mic? He's so casual about this flying microphone aimed at his head, like "oh, here we go" "Remi's at it again" "321 duck" "make it look cool"

i'm honestly so ready for this new era to snatch my wig, levitate my eyebrows, tighten my corset, and lower my top hat! i love these boys so much!!!!

The new “I listen to this while having a breakdown” song lads

love the intensity of Palaye Royales songs, they are written from the heart

palaye royale honestly never disappoints, what does disappoint is youtube not letting me know they've released new songs

" i can be your barbie , i can say sorry " THIS PART JUST *chef kiss

This era doesn't just "come". It punches you right in the face and tbh this is amazing.

I love it when artists address the dark side of fame and showbiz in their music. It feels so raw and unfiltered

Remington: * tied up on a chair * Sebastian and emerson: * absolutely rocking out *

Not gonna lie, this feels like Christmas in July. So excited!

One of the things I absolutely love about Palaye Royale is how their music sounds like a collage of color. It just really resonates with me cuz people often find heavy music as just obnoxious sound, but it's so far from that, this is pure art. You guys fucking killed it again, and I'm so glad to be a part of the Royal Council and get to listen to these masterpieces. I know I can always find something real in your music, love you Palaye Royale x

I think this song's about how record companies look at you like a product. Your image and sound is completely up to them. It's YOUR music but to them it's THEIRS. This song i think addresses that. Cos no matter how much of you you give them its never gonna be enough for them. Keep the good music coming fellas!

My favourite song by them 🎵 Remington looks seriously gorgeous in this video. He definitely has one of the best voices in rock

I can’t wait to see how Rem, Seb and Emerson’s styles merge together this time. It’s been flawless so far so I’m super excited

i was talking to someone today and was like "hey at least we'll have new breakdown music because punching bag comes out tonight!" so there's that

Remington. Sebastian. Emerson. This song is absolute magik. The divergence between the music vs. the lyrics w/ Remington’s vocals consumes me alive. Fook. Me.😭✊🏼 My mind gets blown every time I listen to it & I weep. #PunchingBag

There's a moment when Remington walks through the sheet in the warehouse, the roll of his shoulders psyching himself up is a detail I love. As someone with anxiety who tends to put up an image, a tough front for those around me - what people see and expect of how to be stronger. How others picture how I should be in public, this roll, psyching up and facing things outside - facing people...it hits in another way. I find I need to keep putting on the outward appearance as tough, to kind of survive even if noone wants to hurt me. If there's aggro or trouble, my bravado and stance kind of backs people off so I appear 'scary' or 'how the public perceives me'. I end up seen as the angry and rough person when most of this is my trauma, how being hurt and others getting hurt because of fear. I end up being the one kicked about, the punching bag. Not much care for how I end up, but it does get too much at times and it feels easier to take on those who care about me, to just hate me like others do. Rambling, sorry.

The late 90's early 2000's have seriously made a return and my childhood self is here for it.

THIS ERA IS EXTREMELY ICONIC I LOVE IT MORE THAN I LOVE MYSELF

At 50 year old, i'm pretty sure i'm not their target audience, but i absolutely love this band !! :)

God I hope this band starts touring now. I’ll drive wherever…

Huh, random click on youtube. I'm a 40yo hardcore metal head. But... this is great. The honesty and emotion here is fantastic. Def on my radar now for an album release. (Side note - you totally stole my look from 20 years ago! lol. Love it. And yes, I can back that statement up with pics.)

I have a feeling this is going to be the most iconic Palaye era yet

I CANT HANDLE THE GENDER ENVY I GET FROM THEM AGHH

1:21 why does sebastian do that move in EVERY VIDEO, lowkey find it hilarious but i love it

This song sounds better than I could have ever imagined music can sound like!

So excited and honoured to be part of such an amazing community who enjoy Palaye Royale so much. You guys stop at nothing to share your art and open up a piece of your souls to us and if it so appreciated. The new era is something else. We’re more than ready for this adventure. Thank you guys so much.

Help! I can't stop listening to this song, it's driving me crazy, it's the best work I've ever heard in my life. Thank you so much.

you can feel his vice the emotions the sense of it makes me nostalgic

My thoughts during this: “Wow this is fucking amazing” “Damn Emerson and Sebastian are going hard” “Remington has a nice outfi- HE IS WEARING A FUCKIBG THONG???”

Remi: has panic attack when new song drops Fans: losing our collective minds over such greatness and anticipation of a new era Never doubt your talent boys, cuz we never will

I get the feeling that this song is about social media, the way people always have (bad) opinions on anyone, the cancel culture, how they target someone and they spit all their toxicity over people who are just not their “type of content”. How people throw their hate against someone so easily, without thinking what their actions can lead to. I’ve received so many comments such as “I don’t like this voice on girls”, “your videos are just an ode to yourself”, “you’re just showing your pretty face”, “you’ve ruined too many notes of this song, but you’re easy on the eyes though”... and so on on my covers. I’ve felt like a punch bag so many times, so this song hits hard. Amazing job guys, musically and visually 👌🏻

Sebastian doing what ever hes doing and emerson raging on the drums Just makes this video so much better

After the video I only can see that this song is about the music industry. "I can be your punching bag", "Come and change me" , "They bought me and they sold me" and so on.. yes it's about a abusive relationship but with a whole industry

I only recently discovered your band, but I couldn’t be happier that I did. The past year has been extremely difficult for me and I honestly don’t think that I could have made it without your music. It was the escape that I desperately need. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your music with us, and I can’t wait to see what this era includes. 💕

This literally is blasting through my house rn. My mom is going to kill me (with chores) but yk what I’d rather die listening to Palaye Royale than anything lmaoooo

This song needs to blow up asap, similar vocals to Maneskin although I prefer the inherent despair in his voice.

•I'm gonna show my kids that i grew up to this music, and they're gonna love it. They're muisc has good meanings behind the lyrics.•

The perk of being beaten down over and over is eventually you learn to endure and become untouchable. You can let life break you like glass or forge you like steel, the difference is where you put your pain. Don't just dance with your demons, make them carry their share of the load.

This reaches *DEEP* in a way that cannot be put in words.

These guys cant make a bad song. I particularly love this one. Its like the best punch in the face i could ever ask for.

Anyone thats a fan of Twenty One Pilots and Palaye Royale is freaking right now so much music😚🤏(thats supposed to be a French kiss🤷🏼‍♂️)

I feel sorry for the 30 people who disliked this song. They must really hate their lives. Lol

Epic. Love the bridge - “if you want me….” Wish I could do justice singing along, but I have no idea how to get the gravel Remington does. This era is going to be amazing

In case any of you are ever wondering, they are absolutely INSANE live and I can't recommend them enough

I can’t even explain how incredible I know this is going to be.

THIS IS PALAYE WORLD DOMINATION ERA

This band brings me so much nostalgia even though they weren't around when i was growing up. And i fucking love it.

So underrated it should be a crime

I wonder how many times Remington got smacked in the face with that swinging microphone during filining?... PS, this was fuhcking AMAZING!

Not me deciding this is way more important than my biology class

Год назад мне выпало это в рекламе в Инстаграме, тех пор я слушаю эту песню КАЖДЫЙ ДЕНЬ, и она до сих пор мне не надоела.

If someone’s treating you bad it’s best to walk away from the relationship than continue to be in it and lose yourself even more relatable

i feel like this album is going to be the best thing to happen this year

10 hours till the beginning of what possibly will be the best Palaye era I'm so excited to see how they've grown over quarantine Proud of you guys already I'm so excited!

Palaye Royale never disappoint 👏🏼

This is definitely how you start a New Era strike a match and set every thing on fire!! 🔥 This song is pure heat and Remington never disappoints he always gives 1000% every time he performs he is a true Rock Star!! Absolutely loving everything about this new song and video, if this release is the beginning of the new era then we are in for an absolutely Amazing ride. Remington, Emerson and Sebastian Thank you for everything you give and everything you do for your beautiful Royal Council Family, you are all so special to us and it would not be the same without you, love you boys very much. So excited to see you return to the stage and for the release of your new record soon. X

I can’t wait for this only have heard like 8 seconds but I can tell it’s gonna be 🔥. Definitely not gonna sleep so I can stay up and watch this

Great, guys, you releasing a song called "punching bag" just as the same time I've started practising self-defense and working out... 👌🏻

There’s so much to interpret in these lyrics that can be for anyone. One of my perspectives: the toxicity that can happen between a Sub & Dom. And sometimes the sub likes feeling small or humiliated, but it can have repercussions mentally as well. ESP when he said ‘public enemy’, it reminded me of how someone told me they were attacked online just for being a sub male, society has an issue with it. At least that’s my take on this song at first. Of course other interpretations came afterwards.

Guys.... thank you! Haven't fan girled like this since the early 00's 😂

THIS ERA IS ALREADY ICONIC AND ITS GONNA BE SO AWSOME

This song kind of screams “The fandom is ripping Rem to pieces and destroying him and tearing him apart but he won’t directly tell us that”

I never thought I would feel what I felt with MCR until I found this band

2:59 how did i just now notice the plague doctor standing there ominously

This Album is going to be legendary. How is it possible that it's already so good, we listened to 15 secs maybe.

Glad I'm not the only one who liked Cruella, This song rules \m/

Ever looked for a song which lyrics describe the every single inch of your life? Well, I've found it. Thank you Palaye Royale for this amazing touching track, my soul can't stop singing along to it!

I love this band so much. The music, to the style, and too the people. This whole band is flawlessly awesome.

It just came to my head, Remella-Devil. Your welcome. Also I felt like I struck gold when I fully discovered this band earlier this year (I had some songs of theirs I favoured on a playlist I was making last year that sounded like is would relate to the Hannibal TV show) I love discovering new bands with their own sound and that put in all their efforts with not just their music but the merch, music videos, graphic novels and anything and everything to get you hooked into the story and their world. I appreciate everything that goes into making all that happen , that is why I love this band so much. Oh and their interactions with fans and their stage presence, it might get Remi in trouble in the UK but it make the whole experience even more worthwhile ❤️

The suits and the songs coming out are just YES.

Palaye Royale Supremacy

I found these guys with their single Mr. Doctor Man. And then moved on. Fuck, did I sleep on these guys and now I'm kicking myself for it! These guys have leveled up so hard.

I am so excited about how far these boys have come. I sound like a grandmother even though im younger than all of them. They are truly under appreciated. This new era has already cleansed my allergies, snatched my pirate hat, broken my guitar, and killed a vampire. I love these guys so much and am so proud of them! They’re definitely on the way to becoming, if not already, rock gods. Keep up the good work!

Guyss, i found your music last summer and now i can't imagine my life without it, you're amazing ❤️

This band has changed my life

The Remington’s voice is absolutely amazing! 🤟🏼

I love the changing aesthetic for each era, excited to see what this one will bring!

this band makes me so happy, I appreciate them so fucking much

ok im in love with this

Y’all have become on of my favorite bands, I absolutely love the music, the messages and the outfits

I want to cry I'm so excited for where this Era is going to take us

The past few days have been pretty sucky for me. Besides all the love and support I get from my family, the thought of these new songs has left a smile on my face every night when I go to sleep, something to look forward to! Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

Ive sang this song everyday since the video has dropped and it still gives me goose bumps. Definitely going to the concert in march!! But i just wanted to say thank you for getting me thru these rough ass times. From the sudden death of my mother, to the suicide of my sister all last year, it’s been hard but being able to sing your feelings out to a song that not only really connects to you but also attaches itself to you is almost therapeutic. Love the music, love the videos, love the lyrics… you guys rock 🤟🏾

I love Palaye Royale. Everything is great in this video. Bravo!🤩

I'M SO EXCITED THIS ERA IS ICONIC ALREADY

I remember Remington said on zoom that he had one particular song that was his favourite. Emerson said on Twitter this is one of his, is it Remington's too? 👀 and what about Sebastian? 👀 Either way, I can't wait for the release tonight 😍 need to start practicing the new era songs for when I see you in Denmark in February! 😍

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE PALAYE ROYALE LIVE

This is literally my whole childhood.. now I'm crying reliving it all 😭💔😔 I can relate so much. I got adopted at 5 years old into my own personal hell. I don't do music I write out my childhood abuse/pain through poetry. I was verbally, sexually, emotionally, and physically abused. I was tormented everyday. I didn't feel free and safe growing up, I felt alone, worthless, I wasn't living, I was surviving. I started sleeping with a knife around 11 years old, no one even knew. I swear I had a concussion once or twice from when they would gang up and beat me, my head hurt so bad it felt like it was bleeding inside. I have scars covering me from head to toe from when they abused and kicked me down. They locked me in a closet at night during a thunderstorm left me in there all night long, I scratched on the door, screamed for them to let me out, they opened the door the next day saw I peed on the floor and they rubbed my face into it then dragged me out by my hair and kicked me before they left the room. I made my adoption mom bleed on purpose, it was bed time and she was being verbally mean to me so I screamed I hated her then she came over to the bunkbed and slapped me so I slapped her back as hard as I could digging my nails deep into her skin to where I made sure I drew blood from her the way she spilled my blood countless times without even a second thought. Both adoption parents smoked weed, drank occasionally, loved the life they were living having me as their own personal punching bag. I tried to scream out for help but dhs came one time, had a talk with the adoption parents and after that talk they had without me being present, I never saw or heard from dhs ever again. Still to this day I don't know what my adoption parents told that dhs lady for her to never come back. My adoption dad told me constantly I'd never make it to see 20 years old and as a child growing up in a hell abuse lifestle, I always feared he was right, but I fought hard to get by and through all the darkness I was living in at the time. I'm 28 years old now, with two precious little boys who I love so much. They are both my entire world. I protect them and love them everyday, no child deserves abuse and my two will never know abuse only love.

Que les pasa a las personas que le dieron dislike, urge que les laven los oídos

Forever going to be one of my favorite Palaye Royale songs....I only recently got into them but I'm so glad I did, they're absolutely amazing and I can't wait for the new album!

One of the most unique voices on the planet! Love that.

I don’t think any of us know what’s coming, but we’re so ready and happy to have it be here. Cant wait to see what astonishing and fabulous things you guys created. Love the void 🖤
