Crown Jewel Defense Invade New York City — Exclusive Video Blog

After touring across Europe with the likes of All Time Low and The Darkness, California's Crown Jewel Defense are wrapping up their first North American tour. The melodic rockers opened for British glamsters The Darkness on their first North American trek in almost six years. The tour is wrapping up in Seattle, Wash. at The Neptune Theater tomorrow night, Feb. 25.

"The tour has been amazin! It's always great when a crowd is very responsive and open to listening to a new band and I couldn't have asked for better crowds. Also it has been incredible to see how many people are coming out just for us," Crown Jewel Defense frontman Taylor Hood tells Noisecreep.

Hood continues: "Being out with bands like Foxy and The Darkness keeps us on our toes every night since they are both such great performers and it pushes us to always be improving and learning. By far this tour has been a huge success!"

Look for an Elvis Baskette-produced (Ratt, Escape the Fate) EP and album from Crown Jewel Defense in stores later in 2012.
