Crown Jewel Defense: Exclusive Video Premiere From California Rockers

Crown Jewel Defense are currently out on an U.S. tour with reunited British rockers The Darkness. "Getting to play shows with a band like them, that was and is, so influential on me is like sitting in a master class on rock 'n' roll, and working and writing with Justin Hawkins is unbelievable," says Crown Jewel Defense frontman Taylor Hood.

The California-based band hooked up with producer Elvis Baskette (Alter Bridge, Ratt) for their upcoming debut album for Hero Stone Records. Out later this year, the record will be preceded by an EP.

Noisecreep has teamed up with Crown Jewel Defense for a series of exclusive videos shot from the road. In today's piece, we check out the band as they rehearse for one of their shows with The Darkness.
