Grande Royale is a rock’n’roll band from Jönköping, Sweden, who find their roots in the early 70’s rock scene of Detroit and the 90’s rock scene in Scandinavia, mixed up with some vintage pop. The music is straight forward rock’n’roll packed with electric guitars, melodic vocals and thundering bass lines.

During the bands first year, Grande Royale recorded and released their debut album titled ‘Cygne Noir’ (2014) and the second album was released in 2015 with the title ‘No Fuss – A piece by resolute men’. At this stage the band had been doing all of the recordings by themselves, and also released the albums on their own. These records made it possible for the band to go out and play live shows all over Sweden, as well as in the U.K and Southern Europe. With energetic live shows, and tight performances Grande Royale raised the roof of the venues.

In the summer of 2016 Grande Royale started to work on their third album in the Honk Palace with Nicke Andersson (Imperial State Electric, The Hellacopters, Entombed) as the engineer and producer. The album got the title ‘Breaking News’, and will be released on The Sign records in August 2017.

Captured Live, a live album was recorded during the Breaking News tour in Germany, which was released in 2018. Grande Royale releases the album Take It Easy, recorded and produced by Ola Ersfjord in september 2019.

“Grande Royale do sound different than they did two years ago — how could they not? — but Take it Easy just sends its core message with such believable fluidity throughout its LP-ready run that one can’t help but think maybe they’ve been taking their own advice all along. It clearly works for them.” – The Obelisk

“Much like Hellacopters and Imperial State Electric, Grande Royale know how to capture that authentic vibe that drove the likes of Grand Funk, Skynyrd et al: great playing, strong melodies and plenty of room to let the songs breathe.” – Powerplay

“Gräver man litet djupare så märker man att det de senaste åren faktiskt har dykt upp en revival-våg som för The Hellacopters arv vidare. Mest uppmärksammade i Finland är bandet Hard Action som släppt två album och i Sverige hittar vi t.ex. Grande Royale med mer än starka influenser av Hellacopters.” – YLE

“Extra vocalen, soms vrouwelijke, zorgen voor een soulvol randje die je een heel klein beetje doen denken aan Southern rock grootheden als Lynyrd Skynyrd. Maar eigenlijk blijft Grande Royale hier zichzelf: mooi gearrangeerde classic rock nummers brengen met een ferme knipoog richting jaren zeventig rock dankzij de eerder vernoemde koorzang, de inbreng van een orgel en het gebruik van een blazerssectie in sommige nummers.” – Musika

“Grande Royale gehören definitiv zu den fleißigen Vertretern ihrer Zunft. Seit der Bandgründung 2014 haben die Schweden fast jedes Jahr ein Album veröffentlicht – drei aus dem Studio und eins live. Nun steht mit “Take It Easy” Album Nummer vier in den Startlöchern und Grande Royale tun hier genau das, was der Promozettel verspricht. Sie spielen einen 70er US-inspirierten Rock mit skandinavischen Einsprengseln und der einen oder anderen leichten Extravaganz in Richtung Bläsereinsatz oder auch mal Pop.” – Hellfire Magazin 

“Der beschwingte Opener ´Bring It Up´ bringt mit vollem Bläsereinsatz ordentlich Leben in die Bude. Der schnaffte Party-Rocker ´Hands Up´ besticht mit gleichermaßen hochdosiertem Mitsing- und Popo-Wackel-Potenzial. ´Sweat Living´ versprüht nazzigen Slide-Charme und ´Baby You´re A Fool´ gar popiges Santana-Flair.” – Rock Hard
