Few bands from Dubbo manage to garner attention outside the New South Wales city, but Peoples Palace are bucking the trend. They earned rave reviews for their performance at Dubbo’s One Night Stand concert, managing to go toe-to-toe with the big names on the bill like Flume, The Rubens, and Seth Sentry. After that came support slots for British India, Eskimo Joe, and The Choirboys. They were also one of 50 acts selected to fly the Aussie flags at the CMJ Music Marathon last October.
On the back of all that comes “Runaways,” the band’s explosive new single. It’s got all the passion of something by Fall Out Boy with a funkier groove that helps set it apart.
“The lyrics are really aimed at our generation,” explained Peoples Palace front man Taylor Stevenson. “You hear so often people throwing criticism at us. We may not have all the answers but we will definitely give it our all.”
