After their name change, Palaye Royale released their first single, "Morning Light" in 2012. A year later, they released their first EP. The EP contains six tracks, but none these made it to their final album.

Sumerian, Boom Boom Room (Side A), and American Satan (2015-2017)

In December 2015, Sumerian Records announced that they signed with Palaye Royale, and with that came the release of their new album Boom Boom Room (Side A).

The album contains thirteen songs, and two bonus tracks, which were originally released as a two-tracked EP in 2013, Get Higher and White. Some of the band's songs from the album were "Mr. Doctor Man", "Don't Feel Quite Right", "Ma Cherie (featuring Kellin Quinn from Sleeping with Sirens), and "Sick Boy Solider".

In 2017, Leith's voice was used in the movie American Satan, as Johnny Faust's singing voice (portrayed by Andy Biersack)[7]. Some of the band's music was featured in the movie, like "Ma Cherie" (instrumental version) and "Mr. Doctor Man". Leith also provided the vocals for the movie's fictional band, The Relentless, in songs such as "Let Him Burn", "Forgive me Mother", and "Me Against the Devil".

Boom Boom Room (Side B), (2018)

Leith, Danzig, and Barrett started the recording process for their sophomore album in January 2018. However, the entire album got scrapped and was reconstituted over the course of five months, completed a week before the band left for the final Warped Tour as is set to release on September 28, 2018. The record completes the two part album "Boom Boom Room". This album includes songs such as "Death Dance" and "You'll Be Fine". Their world tour, The Final Boom, supports the album's release.

Musical style

The band have frequently been described as; and identify themselves as; fashion-art rock,[2][8] as well as being described as rock and roll,[9] glam rock,[10] indie rock[11] and garage rock[12] citing influences such as The Animals, The Faces, Small Faces, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, David Bowie, T. Rex, The Velvet Underground and classical music.[2] Classic Rock Magazine described their style as "crash[ing] from My Chemical Romance-influenced rock to New York Dolls-ish punk via dashes of Stones-y blues".[13] Their art style is also influenced by Tim Burton, as seen in their music videos Ma Chèrie and the end of Mr. Doctor Man.
