The Crowns

Free songs can be downloaded at the The Crowns website: www.thecrownsmusic.com/music/ The Crowns are a fully independent band from the heart of Amsterdam with a curious love for Converse and skinny jeans. The band was founded early in the summer of 2008 in Amsterdam, where a shared passion for music and an environment rather conductive to creativity led Valentine (vocals), Thomas (guitar) and Alex (keys) to record a demo. Originally just intended to be shared with friends, the demo was nevertheless picked up by music fans scouring social networks for their daily aural fix, resulting in the Crowns quickly growing to be the largest Dutch rock band on Myspace in a matter of months. Inspired by the positive reception of their demo, at the end of the summer The Crowns decided to complete and enhance their line-up with French Toff (on drums) and French-Italian Franky (on bass) in order to fully dedicate themselves to creating and performing music. True to the spirit of freedom & liberty on which Amsterdam was founded, The Crowns are completely independent without any labels and managers constraining their creativity or interfering with their connection with their fans. Their first video, which they made with nothing more than an old camera and even older Dutch bike, was placed on Youtube at the beginning of 2009. On the power of this video alone, The Crowns are placed in the top 4 of Dutch musicians on youtube, and are currently the largest Dutch band on Youtube. The Crowns are currently recording their debut album which is slated for a release in 2010. Read Full Bio Here: www.thecrownsmusic.com/about/ Visit The Crowns Homepage Here: www.thecrownsmusic.com
