Des Moines, Iowa’s Christopher the Conquered (Chris Ford) has been sitting behind the keys and saying what he can say since he released his debut album I Guess That’s What We’re Dying For… in 2007. In 2008, Christopher sat in on drums with The Poison Control Center for a national tour supporting The Apples In Stereo; when they got home, he and Patrick Tape Fleming (of The PCC and Gloom Balloon) went to work on a follow-up album, You’re Gonna Glow In The Dark, which found a lot of love, with popdose.com writing “…let it come pouring through your speakers, and you’ll experience one of the most enjoyably off-kilter albums of indie rock you’re likely to find this year…”. It led to The Conquered growing from a one man band to a 9 piece pop-soul outfit.
