Consisting of Jon Davidson (vocals/guitar), Russell Stafford (vocals/guitar), and Kaycee Kay (drums), Crown Point focuses on hooks as much as they do lyrics, creating a polished, friendly sound that doesn’t grow old or tired after repeated listens.

Formed in late 2009, the band wasn’t but a few months old when they struck out on their first national tour, including an appearance at 2010′s SxSW Music Conference. The band has since done five national tours, keeping busy throughout 2010 and 2011, and continue to tour while working on their debut full-length.

The Boise Weekly calls Crown Point’s music “sweet alt/rock with a swirl of pop on top.”

Their EP, Wolves, produced by Jeff Johnson (Jet Black Stare, Faber Drive, Adelita’s Way) and engineered by Chris Holmes (The Veer Union, Katy Perry, Simon Collins), features Nickelback’s Daniel Adair on drums.

The EP, coupled with relentless touring, helped Crown Point flesh out their sound and bring to life their brand of polished pop-rock, allowing the band to make a mark the old fashioned way. They’ve already written a catchy collection of songs that will resonate with the listener. Now they plan to pound out the pavement to make sure listeners get a chance to hear them.
