Crown The Empire

Are you ready for the young and the bad-ass?! Post-hard core band Crown The Empire was formed in Dallas, Texas, USA on July, 10th, 2010. How did the band originally form? Well original band members, Andrew Velasquaz, Austin Duncan, Hayden Tree, and Brandon Hoover had first created the band together in high school (Colleyville Heritage High school). The idea of the band being formed was by Brandon and Austin when they started to play music together. They wanted to reach there goal for being a heavier band then most bands out there and reach the top of the music charts. Alex Massey was the original drummer in the band, but soon replaced in 2011 by Brent Iaddie. Crown The Empire was on the hunt for a lead guitarist for the band and then soon discovered Bennet Vogelman A.K.A Benn Suede. During the of 2011, the band decided to work on there EP Limitless and on November, 29th, 2011 it was released.

The EP wen overly well, they also showed the behind the scene shot for there hit single "Voices" for teasers for there fans. The music video for voices came out on December, 11th, 2011. Crown The Empire were on there way to fame. The band released there music video for there single from there "Limitless EP", "Wake me up" in acoustic on December, 31st, 2011. Later on the year, Crown The Empire made an announcement that they were doing there first tour ever with A Skylit Drive from March 3rd to March 7th.

Later on during the year, producers for Crown The Empire had made a teaser comment on Facebook that a new album would be coming out soon, and the hint was the band is from Texas. The band had signed over to Rise Records that year before they started there new official album. They had announced that they signed over to them and are officially working on there new album on March, 23rd, 2012. They released there single, "Makeshift Chemistry" of there album "Fallout".
