KILL THE CROWN
The background is a dangerous place to hide.
Amethyst is a "background" soul in a foreground world. A bartender by trade and a bassist by necessity, she's spent years playing in the shadow of her manipulative ex-boyfriend, Ricky, in a local scene that treats her like part of the furniture.
Then came Jackie Martin.
The legendary, disgraced drummer of Blood Oath doesn't do "background." He's radioactive, he's arrogant, and he's looking for a specific sound-a "clank" that only Amethyst can provide. When they lock in together in a sweltering Georgia storage unit, they don't just find a rhythm; they start a riot.
The Engine. The Earth. The Sky.
Joined by Devin, a stoic Choctaw diesel mechanic with a jagged seven-string riff, and the Janson brothers-Michael, a voice that can crack the sky, and Rusty, a protective gatekeeper with a lead guitar like a saw blade-the line-up is complete.
They are the outcasts. The "has-beens." The "never-weres."
Together, they are Kill the Crown.
As the tension between Amethyst and Jackie builds into a high-voltage slow burn, the band prepares for a collision course with their pasts. From the red clay of Talbot County to the neon lights of the Warehouse, they have one mission: topple the corporate kings of the music industry and prove that the loudest voices are the ones that have been silenced the longest.
The stage is set. The fuse is lit. It's time to take the throne.
