The Palomars perform original and cover songs in the musical style of 1940s and 50s rockabilly and western swing music which is very danceable and energetic. That explains the connection they have made with swing dance groups in Vancouver, BC where the band is from.

The band's swinging rhythm section are drummer Sandy McNair and upright bassist Ken Wilson who have been playing together in various bands for over 20 years. Lead vocalist and guitarist Tom Hammel has performed in a number of roots/country acts and performed in Nashville in 2016 as part of the "Nashville Boogie" Festival with 50s Country band "The Neon Stars".

"Supper Club Riot" is the band's second album release. The album contains 13 rockin' and swingin' tracks, seven of which are written by the band in a traditional style. The band is heavily influenced by themes from 1940s Film Noir and 1950s Science Fiction as you can see by glancing at the titles and of course, the pulp fiction-influenced album cover art for "Supper Club Riot".
