i was never dat into asking alexandria, i mean, they’ve got some ok songs (hey there mr. brooks goes p. hard) but for the past few years, they seem to have been one of the leading bands for tumblr-sluts to fan-girl over before they turn 17 and start listening to groce hipster music. the band started off strategically enough, lookin’ like a bunch of wanna-be bring me the horizon bros… until they slowly transitioned into dressin like sum 80′s rock band?! (dafuq?) it was evident that sum band needed to step up and fill the void of the original AA as they descend into retro faggotry.
thats where capture the crown comes in. they r pretty much like a tribute to the old asking alexandria, their name “capture the crown” can literally be interpreted in the way that they’re capturing the crown that once used to rest on the heads of asking alexandria.
the band got bizzy and released their first music video…
- vocalist legit sounds like he’s takin the biggest shit of his life @ 20 seconds
- idk why there’s no shots of the drummer but im loling @ the idea of him forgetting to show up to their music video shoot and the rest of the band/director bein like “fuck it lets jus film without him”
- dunno if that’s supposed to be a rain scene but it looks like someone poured a bucket of water onto the singer’s head (dunno why it wuld be raining in an abandoned underground parking lot anyway)
- i love how during the techno part, the guitarists are like “oh shit, we dont have anything to do here” so they jus awkwardly skip in place while holding their guitars
- dem ripped jeans… singer looks like he got raped by freddy krueger (ripped shirt+ jeans combo)
all in all, i would say their first music video is a success, becuz it got 3 million views in the 6 months that it has been uploaded onto jewtube. capture the crown took note of the video’s rapid rising popularity and started releasing siq shirt designs, including one with their catchy song lyric “you filthy fucking cunt” which is basically like their version of asking alexandria’s “you stupid fucking whore” (in australia, “cunt” is actually a widely used and socially acceptable word, unlike in north america where if u say it u will get mauled by angry feminists).
AA shirt:
not sheriff boy or girl?
CTC shirt:
the band had alot of hype to live up to after their first song… but when they released their second song… they did NOT disappoint.
- im legit loving their ludacris homage @ 59 seconds. wooow.
due to capture the crown’s rising popularity, the band members decided to do blogs introducing who they are n stuff so the fans culd get to know their personalities a bit better.
of course butthurt faggotry had to ensue…
ugh… he said “GUYS wanna be with me, GIRLS wanna be me” not the other way around. he was making fun of himself and calling himself gay. u dumb fucks. hes probly a nice guy.
omg i want dis
the band has decided to follow in the same footsteps as asking alexandria (who moved from britain to the US right away to start their career) and make it their first priority to tour north america. this caused more butthurt-reactions (i mean, god forbid they would actually wanna play gud shows in teh US and not jus the same crappy local shows over and over).
literally, there is thousands of examples of butthurt haters for this band. the haterz will keep being more and more mad as the band achieves more and more success. haters are their motivators. so in the end, the haters r actually fueling the power of the band. kinda funny, isnt it? i dont think theres a single band that attracts more butthurt haters giving them attention than asking alexandria, which is another reason why this band is so similar to AA. the funny thing is, theyll probably sign to a respectable label before playing a single show (prob rise records, theyr notorious for signing bands who havent played a show yet) and tour north america with siq bands, playin to hundreds of fans every night. so i have one question left for the haterz…
do u think CTC has wat it takes to replace the old AA? why do these bands attract so many butthurt haterz? do u think theyll get signed before playing a show (like woe, is me and that’s outrageous)? which bands do u see them playin with on their first north american tour? is the person with the asking alexandria shirt a boy or a girl?
inb4 they follow asking alexandria formula too closely and also go all 80′s
People still do crabcore moves ?
shit like this really makes me wonder if haters really make you famous… I’m in a progressive metal band (imn 4 lyfe) and we played a battle of the bands with some shitty nu-metal band made up of like 30 to 40 year old meth heads and 1.5 days after we beat them they took to the interwebs to try to say we sabotaged them. After we cleared that up we got 50+ likes on the fagbook and are still getting shows from promoters we met thru it. I didn’t used to think it was tru but now i kinda do……. shits crazy.. I kinda wish more people hated us now…
It really is true. For example, this site– the negative stuff gets far, far more interest than the positive stuff.
I actually have very good taste in music.
I have a hard time listening to any song about how much some bro hates it when women don’t want to sleep with him and/or also like to sleep with other people.
Wood smash his gf and skip town before he writes a song about it/10.
Its not terrible, but I’m not big on metalcore in general these days. If I was still a teenager I’d be all over that shit. Unfortunately I’m turning into an oldfag cause I find myself hating bands because they sound like stuff I used to listen to when I was younger. I know I shouldn’t, but its hard sometimes when I see teenagers act like this stuff is new. Like all the electronic stuff in metal that to me just sounds like Fear Factory songs. I wish I could go back to when I just enjoyed music for what it was.

it’s not too late bro. I went through the same dark, negative phase when I was like 23- thankfully I was able to stop myself before full tr00bonic plague set in, I have faith that you can do the same!
In my experience you will get over it and “come back to the stuff you truly love”. Everyone has a cool phase from from 17 to 21 to 24 (depending on level of maturity) but you eventually stop caring, realize that the 12 year old version of you was right to think that limp bizkit are awesome, and go back to enjoying what you want
the tricky part is not just falling back on what you liked when you were 12, but being able to appreciate stuff that is new (even if you don’t like it, at least not suffering from extreme anal pain when exposed to it, like a buttdevastation vampire)
lol’d hard at ‘buttdevestation vampire’
Sounds like a sweet band name
this is true, and it stops you from becoming one of those old ppl who think that music stoppped being good after guns n roses.
This sounds pretty good, Appropriate overuse of autotune, siq mosh, sleeves – these guys clearly did their homework.
The weird electronic parts set it off just right, this way they’ll be slightly different than their contemporaries (or am I so out of touch with metalcore that I don’t know this is the norm?)
LOL @ biggest shit of life
LOL @ drummer missing, your theory sounds totally probable and since we have none other to go by at this point we must accept it as absolute truth.
Why are drummers so universally unreliable?
lol im glad you liked my commentary.
and the weird electronic parts are definitely the norm in this type of music nowadays haha. we have chango studios to thank for that!

I never got that memo, TY for forwarding me a copy :)
do more posts plz
I’ve loved CTC since their first video had like 2000 views. will always rep hard.
i love old asking alexandria and attack attack too.
i hope crabcore lives forever
They also did a sik cover of that Jason Deurlo or howefver it’s spelt song In My Head. Pretty cool
Never got why a metalcore band (aa) would wear led zeplin and the doors tshirts
To show that they are srs musician/artist?
Oh god, my first thought was p much “ctc are posers and aa did everything better”. #patientzero #internet #crabcore #nerd
P. Sure they’ve never played a show. Liek actual Srs.
they only have two songs. Need two more and an ironic cover before they could start thinking about playing a show, I mean c’mon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1z7fHmD-rw
Heres dat ironic cover.
They’re further along than I thought then, and props on the quality production. Seems like a weird choice for a cover, maybe Jason Derulo was bigger in Austria, but that song went away like real quick. And JB’s Boyfriend still remains un-metalcorecovered.
Seeing as so many metalcore fans pride themselves on listening to real music and not that mainstream justin bieber rap shit, I wonder if any semi major metalcore band will cover that song… May do more harm then good, although if “haterz maek me fameous” has any truth to it, then somebody ought to get on with that cover asap.
Fuck that shit. I’m doing it for my grind/powerviolence band.
Metalcore band dudes know a well-made top 40 cover will be good for them. They should have enough young girl fans to think its good and leave comments like ‘OMG capture the crown r so brutal! they r so good they made a shitty Bieber song good!!2!’
Some unknown band did it, pretty disappointing. Like they just wrote a different song, ripped the lyrics and took the chorus :(
they havent! i mentioned that in the article (about how theyll prob get signed before they play a show)
tbh whatever the fuck theyre doing, theyre doing it right. i dont know how they managed to make it work so well.
Worth noting that numerous highly talented up and coming artists have covered CTC before CTC ever performed!

woooow. hahahhaa
I remember the first time I heard them, I think BlankTV uploaded that first video and immediately after pressing play I switched tabs and a little after I was like “Where the fuck is this Asking Alexandria song comming from?”
Also, big LOL @ all the kids being butthurt on the introduction video just because they can’t hear properly
seriously the final image isn’t even remotely funny, like the fuck?
sorry bros, cant be funny 100% of da time :(
honestly i thought it was stupid as hell too when i found it, but it is appropriate in the context it’s given
That fuuu…..u..u..u.u.FUCK during the second to last breakdown is sick.
Is SubPop even still a thing? (I refuse to click on the link)
This band has no fans over the age of 17 in Australia (srs). They have hurt so many people butts that I doubt they would even be put on a show here because if they were the promotor putting the show on would be “selling out” or “not supporting the scene.” There are solid rumours they bought a fair few of their Facebook likes like Buried in Verona did (AUS metalcore band, pretty sweet IMO) and also bought youtube views or someshit, not too sure about the youtube stuff though. Liking CTC is a sucidial move in the HxC world down under so it wouldn’t surprise me if they played their first shows in the US.
nah they do. for some reason, i crank this shit lately. im like 32, feelsbadman.. at first i thought, srs what in the actual fucks is this shit, but the riff is so fucken generically danceable you would have to be a real sad cunt to not move too it.
And when he says “BITCH!” thats lols
You filthy fucken CUNT! haha
Its so ghey its great.
And now I love this shit. Fukkkk
“i don’t think theres a single band that attracts more butthurt haters giving them attention than asking alexandria, which is another reason why this band is so similar to AA.”
brb starting nickelback rip off band
in the words of eric cartman “being a sellouts awesome cause you get all the money!”
To be honest if someone said I had bad taste in music for not liking rather bland metalcore bands I’d be rather butthurt too.
This may be maximum anal devastation, but if i ever saw my kid wearing any of that merch, i’d shave off his swoop hair, pull out his zero gauge plugs, take away his Walkman for a month and make him wear an old XL Amy Grant t-shirt to teach him a lesson. Can’t even fathom wearing that shit to granny’s for Christmas dinner.
Can’t deal with the layered vocals in the beginning of the first song, which is generally my problem with most of these crabcore bands. While I like some of it musically, I hate hate hate the sound of dose vocals.
Lollin’ seriously hard @ the progression between the two Asking Alexandria pictures, doe.
I wonder if AA fans hate CtC fans and vice-versa?
Pingback: chango studios-core | STUFF YOU WILL HATE
in their song you “call that a knife? this is a knife!” i heard there was no drummer in the recording of the song it was all done electronically, so they threw in a dummer-stand in who isnt really playing anything?
‘everybody who records these days uses fake drums, faggot’
what happened to Brah??
Busy saving the world in a nukular submarine like Denzel in Crimson Tide.
They attract haters because they fucking suck… Are you people kidding yourselves?
they dont suck
all of this is just absolute, pure cancer
all of it
comments, too
this isn’t 4fuck
calm down
capture the crown is awesome and this is coming from a asking alexandria fan
