The Family Crest w/Joe Richter

The Family Crest have roots planted all over the country. The band’s seven members make up the sturdy trunk of an expansive family tree, but their albums credit more personnel than just them—the immediate outfit boasts an “extended family” of hundreds of members.

They have already earned widespread national applause for their extraordinary orchestral pop ambition, but with their newest album, ‘The War’, the San Francisco-based group makes their boldest, most fully articulated musical statement thus far – revealing a band more in tune than ever with its own large-scale Baroque eclecticism.
