Crown Lands - Context: Fearless Pt. I

I really liked this song. Thank you for bringing back music that shows creativity and takes actual musician skills to create.

[@jrobertsapp]

OMG! It's almost like discovering some unreleased material from '78.

[@stephaniegoddard9397]

I agree! I was 18 in 1978 and Crown Lands would’ve fit right in!

[@aacmsguitarensembles2759]

Oh, wow, I LOVE this! Does some of it remind of of my favorite band? Sure. Do I care? Nope. Listening to this gave me the same giddy feeling I got the first time I heard Hemispheres almost 40 years ago. This music showed me that I can still feel happiness. I'll take that all day long.

[@CrownLandsMusic]

Lots of love for that same favourite band! ❤️❤️

[@noahmijo]

I literally just told a friend that this song reminded me of when I first heard Hemispheres at age 13. (I’m 41 now)

I will not say that they are Rush, because no one will ever be Rush except for Rush. But, the guys in Rush would approve. This is excellent! Much respect!

[@markweymouth6368]

Never heard of this band before I just came across a video I want to do some more research but I'm liking what I hear so far and I thought the same exact thing they sound like a cross between rush and Greta Van Fleet

[@richardmcallister2253]

Nathan, Let's say that we feel the influence of Rush

[@christopherhammac2133]

They have actually played gigs with Alex Lifeson, and the three of them were in the studio together, so hopefully this duo will become a trio

[@brandonhill4197]

I didn't know I missed Prog until I heard new Prog. I know everyone hears Rush, and yeah, I hear it too, but the singer to me sounds more like Jon Anderson from Yes than he does, Geddy Lee.

[@johntedshekler]

I freaking love this. It's like an alternate reality where Geddy and Neil were somehow one person that sings while drumming and Alex plays bass and guitar. This is really really good.

[@robertkreider6259]

I have a friend that is a huge rush fan, like seen them all of the planet type of fan. He has really been lost and just down on the whole music scene since rush retired. I sent this to him and he immediately called me to talk about this song :) Carpe Diem Crownlands!!!

This song gives me faith in the human race once again. I have watched this at least ten times already. I love the story about how this was tracked on the kit Peart used on Snakes and Arrows the day after they found out he had passed away. Gave me chills. I may have just discovered Crown Lands, but you have my attention. Great work!

Love everything about this song.....the sound, the length, and the glasses on Cody..

[@nathanstevens259]

You mean to tell me that this is TWO people?! I'm impressed, if Rush were still touring these guys would be getting a call to be the opening act! Geddy, Alex, and Neil would love this! Much respect!

The best part is how the drummer gets to the gig and his drums are already set up and tuned by a witch.

[@sunshineoverpass5020]

I'll let you in on a secret- she was already the band's full-time drum tech. But since touring was shut down by COVID, she started working from home as a witch. It'll be interesting to see whether she goes back out on the road with the band when the pandemic is over, or if there's more money to be made in witchcraft.
