Release Notes:
What's in a name? Maybe it's symbolism or divine inspiration... or
maybe it was simply inspired by a discrete birthmark on one of the
band members. At least that's what the members of Equal Vision's
newly signed The Snake The Cross The Crown are claiming.
Huntsville, AL isnÆt a likely place for musical dreams to spawn.
But nestled there with an inclination to make music, Franklin
Sammons (guitar) has been honing his talent since the sixth grade.
Joined by his brother William Sammons (keys, programming), the
band slowly began to take form. Kevin Jones (guitar, vocals) and
Carl Marshall (bass, vocals) joined the two brothers and the four
quickly took shape as Curbside Service. It was obvious to them
that Huntsville, AL wasn't the inspiration they needed, so they
packed their bags and headed west to Santa
Barbara, CA.
It wasn't long after their transcontinental move that they decided
to shed their moniker and recruit their friend Mark Fate (drums).
And so began The Snake The Cross The Crown.
After hearing their debut EP, Like A Moth Before A Flame, released
on Waste Of Time Records, Equal Vision Records caught on to
something that the rest of the world was to soon to discover.
Family members, friends, and band-mates, The Snake The Cross The
Crown are built around a tight-knit bond and the passion to make
music. While some bands become tunnel-visioned on a sound that
will bring them instant popularity, The Snake The Cross The Crown
find themselves constantly evolving.
Like A Moth Before a Flame is a progressive and atmospheric
layering of keyboards, guitars, and drums, canvased in thoughtful
lyrics of disillusionment, addiction, and beauty. This, however,
is just a taste of what's to come on their full-length debut for
Equal Vision Records. Heading into the studio in Spring 2004 with
producer Angus Cooke (The Ataris, Nerf Herder, Lagwagon), the band
will continue its relentless evolution while bringing with them
the atmospheric elements that made their outstanding debut such a
success.
Now their new album Cotton Teeth is going to amaze people.
Enjoy.
