Erudite NewPop dreamers THE CROOKES are poised to headline the Kings Cross Scala in London on May 21st 2013 as part of the fierce panda label's 19th birthday celebrations. To coincide the ragged Sheffield romantics release a double AA-side 7 single featuring two cracking never-released-before tracks Bear's Blood and Dance In Colour. Bear's Blood they consider to be their heaviest song thus far. This is perhaps unsurprising when you consider that it was written about a potent drink they discovered on tour in Slovenia which, legend has it, is made by a man who lives in the woods who is the only person who knows the ingredients. The slightly more languid Dance In Colour meanwhile was the first song written since the release of last year's sophomore album Hold Fast. It features guitarist Tom playing piano and if that wasn't classy enough the video stars Ferdinand Kingsley (son of Record Label: Fierce Panda Style: Independent

Sheffield-based thrillseekers THE CROOKES are back with a new single, a new guitarist, a new vibe and plenty plans for their second album release. And, as befits their vivacious new vibe, is their most hectically succint New Pop message yet. Vivacious new vibe? Why yes - lest we forget THE CROOKES are now men of domestic mystery and international intrigue after spending the past three years growing up in an industry where three months can make you look like veterans. Those lucky bright young things who clocked the "Afterglow" video mere nanoseconds after it went live in March will already know that this is a fitter, meaner THE CROOKES: the fringes are a bit less floppy, the new songs are a touch more muscular, the attitude is a lot more...attitudinal. "Afterglow" is one of those new songs with a great bloody shiny big chorus which goes "Oh oh oh oh" several times and does it very well because THE CROOKES of new are all about getting to the point without losing their melodic instinct or their New Pop nous. "Afterglow" is also the first single to be taken from their imminent sophomore album which is entitled "Hold Fast" and will be out on Fierce Panda in the summer Record Label: Fierce Panda Style: Independent

Sheffield-based brainstormers THE CROOKES are back with a new tour, a new guitarist and plans a'plenty for their second album release called "Hold Fast" and, as perhaps suggested by the fact that they romp through ten songs in 33 minutes, is their most dynamically direct New Pop message yet. Lest we forget THE CROOKES are now men of domestic mystery and international intrigue after spending the past three years growing up in an industry where a three month stint can make you look like veterans. The callow, foppish youths who launched themselves out of the butt end of the noughties with independent singles on Heist Or Hit and Too Pure, and who've hurtled through the "Dreams Of Another Day" EP and the "Chasing After Ghosts" album on fierce panda in that past two years, are now well versed in the art of recording hi octane tunes and are well travelled enough to know their Aarhus from their Bromley-by-Bow. Over the past two years barely a single European capital city with all their sun-kissed girls and un-kissed boys has been left untouched by their touring machine. They were recently flown to Japan to play the opening of the Burberry's flagship store in Tokyo and, on a slightly more homespun but no less exciting way they are poised to visit Darlington and Derby as part of yet another trek around the UK. Those lucky bright young things will already know that this is a fitter, meaner CROOKES: the fringes are a bit less floppy, the new songs are a touch more muscular, the attitude is a lot more...attitudinal. THE CROOKES once again prove themselves to be on the straight and narrow. Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, White

THE CROOKES are four young hopefuls who found each other, bleary eyed and dancing alone, at Sheffield's legendary Fuzz Club. United initially by a mutual love of THE VIOLENT FEMMES song 'Blister in the Sun', they formed the band there and then. They hoped Record Label: Fierce Panda Style: Independent
