You can check out the photos of Crown The Empire by our Rockin Ryan from their Chico show here:

Their debut album “The Fallout” on Rise Records could quite well be called a concept album. It is a great work of art and through their musical compositions tell the story of a post-apocalyptic world. The basis of the album came from a failed relationship and they creatively turned it into a musical gem. You can pick up the album on Itunes here and make sure to listen to it from start to finish, it is awesome and takes you on a wild cinematic ride.

I will leave you with a couple videos from their set in Chico. Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news.
