Being one of the Big Four, they're often compared to Metallica, Megadeth

At first glance, Crown Jwlz would seem to be a novelty act in search of attention. The contrived stage name, the way over-the-top photos of her dressed as gaudy royalty. There’s been no shortage of gimmicks in the history of rock n' roll (Alice Cooper, KISS and Motely Crue come to mind immediately). However, as in the case of those
