Sounding bigger and bolder than the average two-man band, Crown Lands are a Canadian duo whose approach is indebted to the sound and swagger of classic rock. Mixing the influences of hard rock with progressive and psychedelic sensibilities, Crown Lands don't let their small size keep them from making music that can fill up a mammoth space. The band first caught the ears of a significant audience in their native Canada with the 2017 EP Rise Over Run, while their self-titled major-label debut, issued in 2020, found them adding more polish and firepower in the studio, and the 2021 single "Context: Fearless Pt. 1" was a loving homage to their prog rock heroes.
