Crown the Empire's new album, THE RESISTANCE: RISE OF THE RUNAWAYS, has the band exceeding all preconceived expectations. It's heavier and more melodic than everything fans and critics grew to love on their debut album, THE FALLOUT but it doesn't feel contrived or forced in any way. When you break it down, Crown the Empire are storytellers for a new generation; nothing is a mistake. Every detail, element, structure, chorus, and breakdown is planned, and the album flows like the plot of a theatrical film.
