"Another great CD from Lovehammers who are the best band ever to come out of Chicago. From the heavy rock sounds of Loaded and Black Angel, to the smooth, emotional sounds of Heavy Crown and Honest I'll Wait and everything else in between, this CD is a must have for all rock music lovers. Marty Casey's versatile vocal style is mesmerizing. The acoustic versions of Velvet and Eyes Can't See are true, classic Lovehammer songs that are sure to please any music lover. One of the very few CD's you'll own that you'll love EVERY song on it."
HEAVY CROWN ROCKS!

"I haven't stopped spinning this CD since I got it earlier this week. The world should know Lovehammers. Many will remember lead singer Marty Casey from his run on Rockstar: INXS. He was the runner-up to winner J.D. Fortune. "Guns" is a tribute to the soldiers who fall defending our freedom. The title track, "Heavy Crown", is a real tearjerker - a poetically beautiful song about telling someone it's okay pass on. "Black Angel", "Loaded", and "Neverfall" are strong rockers to contrast the beautiful ballads like "Honest I'll Wait" and "Driving Blind". A special treat are the acoustic versions of two songs from earlier in the Lovehammers cannon - "Velvet" and "Eyes Can't See". This is an awesome album, and it's time that all of America discovers this band. As the fans of the band say, we all need to "spread the LOVE""
Love it!

"The more that I listen to this album, the more that I love it. I was very skeptical of this album after learning that they put it together in such a short time. They really pulled it off! There are so many more layers on this cd than in previous releases. Every song has its own flavor. I even love that little hidden bonus track "Jupiter Bill". Standouts for me are Black Angel and Loaded. Awesome! The Lovehammers have really grown as a band.
I really wish that the Lovehammers had a tenth of the promotional budget that someone like Nickelback had. Then, A LOT more people would be aware of this great band."
Flawless... a masterpiece from rocks best kept secret

"I dont get it, I thought the hammers were done,with Marty touring and singing those bad La Gun songs.Then Heavy crown comes out. I liked this cd on the first listen,which is rare.This disc is so good,it can be compared to the first two,which is saying alot.Im not going to bother going over the individual tracks, because they are all outstanding.Besides being a dynamic frontman,Marty Casey is a topnotch songwriter,strong lyrics,catchy melodies, and solid ballads.
Bobby ,Dino and Billy are the perfect band for Marty,absolutely rocksolid.I cant wait to hear these new songs performed live.Remember....Defend Chicago!"
