[any band that sites the shirelles and the ronettes as musical influences will easily fall favorably in our musical books. hailing from sheffield and naming their band after the suburb that they were living in (ie: crookes), this four piece write wistful happy gangly guitar pop tunes that will easily bring a smile to your face, all the while engaging you with that retro twist (as wikipedia called it, "the smiths at their most twee-est", which in our book is a good thing!). the band recently made their US debut at sxsw and hopefully more buzz will happen when they release their debut album later this year. check out some wonderful releases that came out last year!]
the crookes - backstreet lovers
the crookes - colliers wife (live @ bbc live in session)
the crookes - by the seine (acoustic)
