LONDON four-piece Crows, have shared a new single from their upcoming album ‘Beware Believers’, out on 1st April. Garden of England’ is an incendiary return – the second it kicks off, it’s full of high energy and toe-tapping guitar and drums.
With lyrics about sticking it to the man and the divisive nature of politics, Crows are a punk band to their caore and they stick true to their roots.
Following recent offerings ‘Slowly Separate’, and ‘Room 156’, singer James Cox explains, “This is straight-up our Brexit anthem. Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t care less which way you voted, your vote, your choice. I just hated how much Brexit had become so ingrained in our day to day life. First thing I’d hear about when I woke up and the last thing I’d read before I went to sleep at night. It became all people spoke about. ‘Garden of England’ is more of a comment about the divisiveness it caused, splitting families, friends, widening the north-south divide and empowering nationalism. Public figures’ ability to lie publicly and not be held accountable, it’s just dangerous dog-whistle politics that doesn’t belong in the UK.”
