Tender Loving Empire Records just signed their first non-Portland band: The Family Crest.
The Family Crest is based out of San Francisco and features six core members and "several hundred additional members". You guessed it: they're orchestra-rock.
Look for TLE to release Headwinds EP on July 30th… then a full length called Beneath the Brine.
