NEWS: Crooked Royal continue to raise the alarm…

New Zealand’s Crooked Royals remain the most ambitious act signed to 3DOT Recordings (Destrage, Astronoid, Infinity Shred), the label owned by pioneering DJentlemen Periphery as they prove with another thrashing taste of their debut album ‘Quarter Life Daydream‘. Recorded and mixed by Zorran Mendonsa (Coridian) and mastered by George Lever (Sleep Token, Loathe, Thornhill), “Ill Manor” dips in and out of a bludgeoning barrage punctuated by pummelling riffs and soaring refrain laced with raw melody. Keep your eyes peeled for it on 21st October…

“It’s a song about living in a rough household that’s not healthy or safe,” explains vocalist Lee Mackley. “‘It’s a play on words about growing up in a house with lessons that make your brain sick, and how you become more shut off because of it. We’ve all believed during our formative years that adults know what they are doing, especially the ones that are closest to us and care for us. But those adults who care, are wrong, and what they view as “caring” can be manipulative and toxic.”
