Palaye Royale have announced their sixth studio album, Amsterdamage, alongside a major international tour for 2027. The album will be released through Sumerian Records on 22 January 2027. The first track, Lost In Translation, is out now, while a limited-edition version of Amsterdamage will also include the bonus track The Unholy One”

The Amsterdamage Tour begins in Europe in March, with UK and Ireland dates in Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin before a headline show at OVO Arena Wembley in London on 3 April. A North American run begins in Dallas on 18 April and ends with four Los Angeles shows on the Sunset Strip.

Fans who pre-order Amsterdamage from the Sumerian store between 1pm on Friday 2 October and 5pm on Monday 5 October (UK time) will be eligible for tour ticket presale access from Tuesday 6 October. General sale begins at 10am local time on Friday 9 October. Tour tickets and information are available from here.

The album was written during 2025 between touring, with sessions stretching from the San Diego coastline to the Netherlands before the record was completed in Chris Greatti’s Los Angeles studio. Emerson Barrett says the album became a point of reconnection for the band after the death of their mother, Stephanie Rachel, in 2024.

“I think if we didn’t have this album, we would have all kind of gone separate ways. After losing our mother, this is our phoenix rising from the ashes. Each one of us took our own paths in dealing with death, and rejoined not only as individuals, but with our partners, and as brothers. This creative bond was the thing that kept us together.”

Remington Leith says Lost In Translation was written with the mid-2000s Brit Rock the band grew up on in mind. “We felt pretty nostalgic writing this one. It took us back to the music we grew up on which was a lot of mid 2000s Brit rock bands. We wanted something upbeat and one that would go crazy live but the lyrics represent wanting to make something work so bad, whether it be a dream or a relationship and it seems like something is in the way of it working out and trying to push through at any cost.”

Pinegrove formed in Montclair, New Jersey, in 2010 around singer, guitarist, and songwriter Evan Stephens Hall and drummer Zack Levine. The band developed a distinctive sound that blended indie rock, emo, alternative country, Americana, and folk-rock textures, often using pedal steel, banjo, and layered vocal harmonies. Hall’s conversational writing and the group’s shifting arrangements became central to Pinegrove’s identity as the band moved from self-released recordings and house shows into a wider national audience. The earliest Pinegrove catalog began with Mixtape One in 2010 and the debut studio album Meridian in 2012, followed by the & EP and Mixtape Two.

ABOUT DIAMANTE:
With her iconic 80s glamour and undeniably powerful vocals, DIAMANTE has become a beacon in today’s music scene, seamlessly weaving the vibrant energy and bold aesthetics of the era while forging her own distinct identity with contemporary flair. She first turned heads with her debut album “Coming In Hot” in 2018 soon after followed by her sophomore full-length “American Dream” including her smash-hit re-imagination of Goo Goo Dolls classic ‘Iris‘ featuring Ben Burnley (Breaking Benjamin), earning widespread acclaim and further propelling her into the spotlight. DIAMANTE has toured alongside prominent acts such as Nita Strauss, Shinedown, The Pretty Reckless, Breaking Benjamin, and Three Days Grace while performing at major national festivals including Sonic Temple, Louder Than Life, and Welcome To Rockville.

The alt-pop powerhouse has begun a new era after signing with her new label home Sumerian Records, and released the irresistibly catchy ‘1987‘ and ‘All For The Glory‘. She then contributed to the American Psycho Comic Series Soundtrack with her spin on Pat Benatar‘s classic ‘Love Is A Battlefield’, and collaborated with labelmates Kittie and The Pretty Wild for an emotional cover of Metallica‘s ‘The Unforgiven‘ for the Queen Of The Ring Soundtrack. With her empowering anthems and rebellious spirit, the sky is the limit as DIAMANTE continues to prove she is a force to be reckoned with, both in the studio and on stage.

For Halflives fans, it’s been a long 18 months since their last release. Now, the creative force behind the project, Linda Battilani, has dropped ‘Unshattered’, a catchy, hook-filled, but still nice and heavy track.

As Battilani explains, “Unshattered came from a place of feeling like I wasn’t enough. I think that’s something a lot of us experience today. We’re constantly surrounded by other people’s achievements, especially on social media, where everyone seems to be winning and reaching new milestones. When you’re already struggling, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself and feeling like you’re falling behind.

I think that’s also very true in the music industry. There are moments where you’re in between chapters, when things are quieter, and it feels like everyone else is moving forward while you’re standing still. The industry can turn music into a race driven by numbers and the pressure to constantly be bigger than everyone else. But art was never meant to be a competition.

When I wrote Unshattered, I imagined all of this as a battlefield. The lyrics are filled with images of conflict because that’s what that mindset feels like: a relentless fight where everyone is trying to reach the top, even if it means stepping over someone else to get there (“we climb on bodies just to reach new heights, being better maker the pain feel light, but is it right?”). That’s the world we’re often encouraged to accept, but it’s not one I want to be part of.

This song is a reminder to myself that music (and life in general) is about something much deeper. I make it because I love it, because it’s what keeps me alive. More than anything, I hope Unshattered encourages people (whether they’re musicians or not) to let go of comparison, step away from the race, and focus on what truly matters: creating, living, and staying true to themselves.” 

To accompany the release, there’s a moody, rain-soaked music video, which you can watch here. The band will be playing live in 2027.
