PENNY ROYAL

Not the first to wake up out of their dream

About Me

Penny Royal is a continuously expanding multimedia vessel geared toward initiating a revolution of the MIND necessary for the age to come.
Formed in 2005 by brothers Derek and Evan Dunivan out of Houston, Tx, Penny Royal has quickly established itself as much more than another transient band destined to drown amidst the masses. The collective energy of Omar Al-Bochi, Derek and Evan Dunivan, Chase Hamblin, and Ariana Renn brings forth exquisitely orchestrated compositions that leave their audience with an ecstatic optimism for the future of rock music.
Penny Royal is currently in the process of completing their first full-length LP with hopes of a release in early 2008.
