The Crown That Wears The Head
First things first. A London promoter called it "Old school super sludgy riffology with blues wailin vox". Listening to the songs "Present Tense-Less" and "Bad City Blues" on the debut EP (released in November 2010) it would be foolish to argue against such a statement. On the other side youll find the sound that brought together four guys with very diverse musical tastes and backgrounds. One of the things the band members all dig on the same level is the harder bands that came out of Seattle in the early nineties. So, all put together, with a few added ingredients, you get the heavy stoner riff galore with strong melodic vocal parts that honor the harmonic complexity of the grunge era. The album contains eight tracks that takes the listener on a 33 minutes long rollercoaster ride through epic sceneries, fuzzy riffarama and soaring vocals to the pounding sound of some very big Ludwig drums and heavy bass lines.
