f you’ve followed Lincoln rock bands in recent years, you may have heard of Carry The Crown before… hell, you might already be a fan! But for anyone that needs bringing up to speed, let’s look at how the band stormed the ‘breaking’ rock scene and found themselves in some notable and downright impressive places. From the moment the band formed in late 2016, they clearly started as they meant to go on, with the release of their first EP ‘Desire’ in May of 2017. Their

song ‘Forever’ from the EP earned them airtime on both Kerrang! and BBC Radio 1, an impressive accomplishment for any band, never mind a band less than a year old. Listening to their music through the years, the experience becomes more and more satisfying with each release, as the band find their sound and hone in to what Carry The Crown truly stands for. From early bangers such as ‘Fire’ and ‘Hold Me’ from their second EP ‘Not Alone’, to later songs like ‘K A R M A’ and their latest single ‘Head Above Water’. Love or hate the band’s prolific production of pop-rock anthems, one thing can’t be denied: they write great songs. With such a solid foundation in place, it begs the question ‘what’s next?’.

from the band, about what they’ve got up their sleeve for 2022. When asked about the band’s next release and when it’s coming, Rupert was playfully reserved and couldn’t give us any specific details as they haven’t made any official announcements yet, however after a little coercion he did reveal that they do have a new single coming soon, and there will be an official music video. Rupert also revealed that the track is their first collaboration featuring a “well known youtuber” … How exciting! This clandestine approach to the band’s next release is incredibly effective at building a sense of anticipation, which makes the confession that the new track is “timid and raw” even more intriguing. It certainly sounds like whatever they have coming is going to cause a stir, Rupert even claims that “This is the biggest thing the band has done to date. We’ve bet the house on this one, we just hope it pays off.” Centrefold Graphic: Jordan Merrett
