The Amazing Royal Crowns

Payback Live

(Kingdom Recordings/Monolyth Record Group)



Thundersome, torrential rainsquall Payback Live assumed shelf display in 2001. (It was preceded by the group's self-titled 1998 debut disc, and soon followed by Royal.) The live CD is now available in digital form on Bandcamp. Readers here will notice videos below are of mint vintage; having readopted original title, the Amazing Royal Crowns continue their Punk/Swing/'billy crusade, tearing up countryside and fortunate shoutalong fans alike. Fever recognizes no calendar page. (Early this year, the combo played shows w/saxman Tony from Hi Fi & the Roadburners.)

Recommended: "Baby's Out on Bail," "Shivering in the Corner," "Minute with the Maker," "Scene of the Crime," "Trouble at the Bali Hai," "Luckiest Man Alive"

Videos: "Baby's Out on Bail" (live 2025)   "Scene of the Crime" (live 2025)   "Luckiest Man Alive" (live 2026)
