New Post Rock Band from Chicago"The Crown" is comprised of local Chicagoans Ken Bonner on guitar, Chris "The Captain" Poynton on bass, Chris Solano on drums, and my buddy Kevin McAfee also on guitar. The band is sonically similar to fellow post rock acts Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai. With one live show under their belts the boys are ready to release their first EP at their concert next Tuesday at the Elbo Room, in Chicago at 2871 N Lincoln.
The EP is entitled "A Purpose of Human Life," which apparently is short for "A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved," which was written by Kurt Vonnegut in The Sirens of Titan (thanks Kevin). You can give two tracks off the EP a spin below. I personally am a big fan of Look to the Morning. If you like what you hear and live in the Chicago area, check em out next Tuesday and pick up the EP.
