Ein wunderbar britischer Song der wunderbar britischen Band The Crookes – «Afterglow» ist die neue Single von ihrem zweiten Album, das dieses Jahr das Licht der Welt erblicken wird. Link zur Band-Website
The Crookes were a last minute addition to this year's Great Escape playing shortly after 12 noon at the Hope on the Saturday (12 May) as part of a showcase put on by the Orchard. I was able to corner the band shortly after their set for a candid chat in the coffee bar at Brighton Komedia to ask them about the inspiration for new single 'American Girls' (come now, being American and a girl, I had to ask!), their PledgeMusic campaign for upcoming sophomore album 'Hold Fast' and [...]
The Great Escape, the UK's own version of SXSW, is growing in prominence across the industry, with bands and delegates coming from far and wide to showcase their work in the lovely seaside town of Brighton. This year, we hosted a showcase at the event for the first time ever ...

While we feel old reaching the age of 15, Fierce Panda are already legal to drink in the UK, turning 18 this week. We're going to use that as an excuse to shine a great big spotlight on some of the wonderful music they've released so far this year before we go ...

Since I ended my first day of SXSW kind of early, I knew I had lost time to make up. You see, unless waiting on line to see people like Jack White, Grimes, or Fiona Apple is your forte, it's best to get to shows early or witness bands you're "heard of" but never actually "heard." Which is something I've said to people more than I care to admit. Wednesday was about catching bands that I've been meaning to see for quite some time now and I wasn't disappointed. Crooks [...]
In the lead-off single to their second album, Sheffield's Crookes demonstrate their ability to bounce around a monochrome soundstage like the cheeky chappies they are, whilst bashing out a good old fashioned indie-by-numbers tune. Crashing drum intro, big guitar riff, singalong "oh-oh-oh" chorus? Check, check, and indeed check. It's all about the business of growing old, something the young whippersnappers clearly know absolutely nothing about - they're keener on eating guitars and tormenting their drummer by stealing his kit. But such curmudgeonliness is to spectacularly miss the point - [...]
Nachdem am Freitag bereits über die offizielle Facebook Seite des Berlin Festivals angekündigt wurde, dass bei der ersten Bandwelle für das Berlin Festival 2012 am heutigen Montag für alle (Zitat: "Popper, Rock'n'Roller, Indienerds, Technoheads, Dubstep-Fanatics und alle, die sich nicht in Genre-Schubladen stecken lassen") etwas dabei ist, waren wir natürlich sonderlich gespannt. Punkt 12 war [...] [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Late last week the Crookes released this collection of clips of them playing the song 'Yes, Yes, We're Magicians' (from their 2011 debut album 'Chasing After Ghosts' on Fierce Panda). Join the singalongs across England, Japan, Germany and Slovenia by watching the video below. Click here to view the embedded video.
Sheffield's Crookes were entirely out of their element for this live performance - in a junk shop in Holland - but judging from this film by indekringloop.nl they took any reservations in stride and pulled of a beautiful (and relaxed, you'll see what I mean) version of 'Chorus of Fools'. Watch it below. Click here to view the embedded video.
Here is a recap from the recent L.E.P. Bogus Boys "Now Or Neva" in-store performance at Crooks & Castles in L.A. The video features the duo performing "Rush Hour" produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E League. The official video is coming soon and will be featuring Meek Mill.
