Snake The Cross The Crown, the Bio

What's in a name? Maybe it's symbolism or divine inspiration... or maybe it was simply inspired by a discrete birthmark on one of the band members. At least that's what the members of Equal Vision's newly signed The Snake The Cross The Crown are claiming.

Huntsville, AL isn’t a likely place for musical dreams to spawn. But nestled there with an inclination to make music, Franklin Sammons (guitar) has been honing his talent since the sixth grade. Joined by his brother William Sammons (keys, programming), the band slowly began to take form. Kevin Jones (guitar, vocals) and Carl Marshall (bass, vocals) joined the two brothers and the four quickly took shape as Curbside Service. It was obvious to them that Huntsville, AL wasn't the inspiration they needed, so they packed their bags and headed west to Santa
Barbara, CA.

It wasn't long after their transcontinental move that they decided to shed their moniker and recruit their friend Mark Fate (drums). And so began The Snake The Cross The Crown.
