About Royal Crown Revue

Royal Crown Revue is an American swing band that formed in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. They are often credited with starting the swing revival movement of the 1990s. Known for their energetic performances and classic swing sound, the band has released several albums and achieved notable success with songs like 'Hey Pachuco!' which was featured in the movie 'The Mask'.

Their lyrics often explore themes of cultural defiance and Pachuco identity, reflecting a rebellious spirit and a connection to the Chicano subculture of the 1940s. Recent work continues to delve into historical and social conflicts, particularly those surrounding the zoot suit era, blending storytelling with vibrant musical arrangements.
