With over a decade of creating music together, My Own Army, an Alternative Progressive rock band hailing from Rotterdam, Netherlands are venerable veterans of the Dutch rock scene. A king on every corner (Sep/2-23), 10-track album is their 5th album, preceded by the single, Orange Robes, (July)/2023. The lyrical message is powerful, reminding the listener that there is a King on every corner trying to influence his followers, and if you don’t walk your own path it will be a dead end street; you risk losing control in life over things that were taken for granted. Inspired by bands such as: A Perfect Circle, Alice in Chains, Tool, and Oceansize, My Own Army is a band that continually looks to surpass their boundaries both musically and lyrically. The band gives an energetic and dynamic live performance, mixing a bombastic bass-and-drums-driven rock sound with melodic and atmospheric vocals, electronic beats and wailing lead guitars.
