Broke Royals is a rock & roll band hailing from Washington, DC, known for their sing-along, arena-ready sound. Comprised of Philip Basnight (vocals, guitar), Colin Cross (drums), Taimir Gore (bass), Rebecca Basnight (keys), and Ben Wilson (guitar), the group has released three full-length albums to date, each showcasing their penchant for crafting emotionally resonant, hook-laden songs.

In July 2022, Broke Royals released their third album, "Local Support", via Byrdland Records. The record was met with critical acclaim, earning a spot on Apple Music’s ALT CTRL as well as coverage from outlets like Under the Radar magazine and Washington City Paper. DCist even named Broke Royals one of the local bands to watch in 2023, citing their ability to meld the sounds of today with those of their heroes.

"Local Support" is a departure from the band's previous work, as they discarded their old process and stepped out of their comfort zone to create something new and exciting. Working with producer Bartees Strange, the group wrote and rewrote slowly throughout the pandemic, sometimes all together and sometimes individually. The result is their most exciting collection of songs to date, with influences ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Tom Petty.

In addition to critical acclaim, Broke Royals has shared stages with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, AWOLNATION, Dashboard Confessional, Car Seat Headrest, Michigander, and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. They've been named an Artist on the Rise by Southwest Airlines and one of the best live bands in DC by CBS. With "Local Support", Broke Royals prove that they're just getting started and are a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock & roll.
