King's Crowd

This album is really growing on me.

I wish I could get ANY info on them at all. They really should be more well known in Christian rock circles, and yet there is NOTHING on the internet whatsoever on them or their album.

Here's their OOP impossible to find 1993 album for anyone here interested: http://www.mediafire.com/?0rd2o372b7hzh77

Some great shredding - some rockin' 80s sound in the vein of A.N.D., Stryper, Angelica, etc.. with hints of Alice Cooper or A.N.D. in the Vox.

Even has some good ballads.

I just listened to that this morning, not bad at all. It would have been great if the band could have had some good recording production, but I'm sure this was done on a budget.

These guys have talent that is for sure!! If they had had a big production budget this would have rivaled anything in the christian market in the early 90's!!

Agreed on the budget thing.
The album sure grows on yuh though, doesn't it ? I listened to it 2 times in a row today.

Wait, who's A.N.D.?

A.N.D.

Style: Good solid Rock, Hard rock, Metal - Shreddin' guitar
For Fans of: Alice Cooper, Barren Cross, Saint, Bloodgood, Letter 7

Formed in 1985 under the name ARCANA. Paul didn't come to faith until after the second album. Paul May – Lead Vocals & Guitars John Wylde – Guitars Mick Ponter – Bass Lance Blackwood – Drums

Personally, I LOVE this album... but it's not for everyone.

(I can upload this album too as it is OOP and IMPOSSIBLE to find anywhere, just lemme know if anyone wants it)

Hmm... I guess I can try it. I just found out my parents are letting us use their old notebook until we can afford a new computer.

Here's the link for A.N.D. - "Get Real".... prepare to be blown away

King's Cross - hmmm...solid music. The production is better than I was expecting given the comments here. This isn't bad at all. The vocalist is a bit interesting...he may have to grow on me. But the music is awesome. Thanks!

A.N.D. - I'd not heard of this band either, so I downloaded it. Much like King's Cross, the music is excellent, and the vocals are the drawback. What is it with Paul May working with bad vocalists? (I can't stand Al Atkins either.)

Perhaps with more listens, I will be interested in both vocalists more. But both bands' music is awesome!

Thanks for the uploads/downloads!

It's probably been more than a year since I heard the A.N.D. album so I can't comment on it, but other than what appears to be a European accent I didn't think the vocals in the King's Crowd album where really "bad" maybe more like inexperienced (I think the band might be from Germany). And I really dig Al Atkin's vocals on that first Atkins/May album....so I'm gonna play the "matter of taste" card on you FOJ (at least with Atkins)

BTW what the heck does A.N.D. stand for anyway?

There's no such thing as a matter of taste. Either I like it or it's awful. See? It's simple.

Okay I'll try to remember that......

I have the A.N.D. downloads and like the material alot. I think it's pretty good stuff.

Have a CD-R of A.N.D. and like this CD very much.
Very cool stuff.

I downloaded both but only listened to about half of each because it was 2 AM and I had to go to bed.

They were both interesting. I'll have to listen again... I see where the complaints about production come from, as well as the vocals. As of now, the AND album was better musically but give me a week to listen some more and who knows?

This is good stuff. I really liked A.N.D. the best.

Well, I listened to both and just couldn't get into them... I'll hang on to them and try again in a month or so but they just didn't grab me and demand my attention....
