Bio:
Since almost ever, EL ROYCE plays a furious punk'n'roll, fueled by axe-wielding, drum-thumping, bass-pounding and throat-tearing. The secret of their special sauce? A larger than life sound mainly influenced by upper class melodic smiths (Bob Mould Sugar, Foo Fighters), a bunch of old school bastards (ACDC, Motorhead) and a pinch of pubescent seminal fluid (At The Drive In, Billy Talent).
Based in Nantes (FR), this three-piece outfit brings together a Clermont-Ferrand-bor n exiled a couple of years in London (Delicate Awol) and two mates well-known in the local scene (Chears, Divine Furia, Fools, UZY…).
These guys know the score! For many years they've scoured many spots, from hundreds lousy bars to famous french venues (La Cigale-Paris, La Locomotive-Paris, Le Gibus Club-Paris, Le Rex Club-Paris, La Cité-Rennes, Les Transmusicales Off-Rennes, L’Olympic-Nantes, Le Fuzz'Yon-La Roche sur Yon…).
The story gently starts in 2002 with a first line-up and a DIY debut-demo "DIESEL" (8-tracks EP) in 2003, then a second attempt "DIRECT LIVE" (5-tracks EP) in 2004. Fortunately, that kind of very cheap recordings are heavily offset by huge live acts. As a trademark, the stage always been the favorite playground for the band.
In 2005, after few personnel changes EL ROYCE set some new attack plans. In summer, a 4-tracks EP is recorded at AudioCapsule studio with Chris Hogommat. Mixed in fall, this new CD is released in march 2006 and acclaimed by french indie press and radios. Armed and dangerous, the crew is now ready to take the stage and set the fire anywhere they go.
During all the year, the power trio work out some new bomb material. In the end of 2007, they go back to AudioCapsule with Chris "Magic" Hogommat for a long-play recording (13 tracks). A new album will be released in 2008.
