Formed in 2009, Royal Punisher is an original, highly improvisational, experimental, hard-driving jazz-rock-fusion quartet from San Antonio, TX. Constant chromatic chaos, stretching from ultra-bombastic jams to more romantic and distinct voicings, comprise the band’s all-original compositions. Royal Punisher features the sharp, tightly wound and sympathetic Estevan Garcia - saxophone, the heavy layering of guitar textures via an array of modern and vintage effects, chord substitutions and epic solos from Donald Robin - guitar, the dangerous, heart-stopping, nitro-burning-funny-car-like stunt co-piloting of Phillip Luna - bass and SA’s Tony Williams meets Mitch Mitchell, Kory Cook - drums.
Royal Punisher was voted BEST JAZZ ACT IN SAN ANTONIO 2011, 2012 ,2014 by the SACurrent.
