OBSOLETE MAN
“Seeing is believing. Liam McCormick is a knockout singer, you simply must hear him live.... There's a decent chance you're about to discover your favorite new band.”
- Bob Boilen, NPR host of ‘All Songs Considered’
bio
The Family Crest has already earned widespread national applause for their extraordinary orchestral pop ambition but with THE WAR, the San Francisco-based collective makes their boldest, most fully articulated musical statement thus far. The second installment of what promises to be an epic musical saga, THE WAR: ACT I represents “the next version of The Family Crest,” says frontman-founder Liam McCormick and indeed, the album reveals a band more in tune with its own large-scale Baroque eclecticism.
music
The Family Crest pulls influences from the likes of ’70s groove to synth-pop, Afro-Cuban soul to California jazz, glam rock, classical orchestral music and anything else that might suit the greater goal – to create a cohesive, utterly original sound and vision all its own.
