See the reviews.
The music... The kind of music fivecrown is a mixture of rock, smart power
pop and a moodiness that permeates the sound and
lyrics that is not a band stuck on repeat.
The Hype... Fivecrown have received a lot of great response from the release of their
Magnificent 3 a.m. album. "Giant" is in the Top Ten (#7) in
RollingStone.com's
Best Unsigned Bands MP3 section. Their new album "NIAGARA, and All the Pretty
Landmines" is now available! "Chinese
Surprise" was at #2
in MP3's AAA Alternative. The song Magnificent 3
a.m. has been added to a sports action film called "Miracle
Boy and Nyquist".
It is about extreme bike extraordinaire Dave
Mirra and Ryan
Nyquist. Magnificent 3 a.m. and Americana Deluxe are also featured on CineMOOK
Film's "Back to
Manhattan", that has won "Best Buzz Award", and is being showcased in the
New York International Film Festival.
The Artwork...
It's hard not to notice the graphics that
Shepard Fairey
has done for us.
Logan Hicks
has done the photo art.
The band broke up in 2002 due to Trace
and Keith's need to spend more time with their families and a career that paid
more than free beer. Christopher has now created two new music projects; "Atom
Orr" and the "Truckee
Brothers". Also devoting more time to the label
Populuxe Records and engineering and
producing at
CHAOS Recording.
