Crows Tour With Idles Starts Next Week
- Written by Marky Edison
Crows were announced as the latest signing to Balley Records (Idles, Heavy Lungs, Lice) in January and the first single ‘Chain Of Being’ made Lamacq's Livener on 6 Music and saw the band featured as Jack Saunder's Next Wave on his Radio 1 show.
The band formed in 2015 and have since built a considerable following for the intensity of their live shows which have seen the band members break bones as well as instruments. Supporting the likes of Girl Band and Wolf Alice in the past, the band will take their deafening live show on the road in support of Idles for their sell out April tour.
With a string of successful singles and EPs under their belt, ‘Silver Tongues’ has been a long while coming. Recorded in near total darkness to build a sense of atmosphere, the album fulfils both their early potential and confidently showcases a band comfortable across a variety of sonic avenues. ‘Silver Tongues’ is a huge step forward for the band, not only musically, but emotionally. A touring band who have been through so much already, this album rightly took time: now, both Crows and the listener can reap the rewards for their patience.
Crows will play main support to IDLES on their UK tour starting next week and follow that with their own headlining dates in April, listed below.
April 26th - Limerick, Kasbah Social Club
April 27th - Dublin, The Sound House
April 29th - Glasgow, Blue Arrow
April 30th - Leeds, Oporto
May 1st - Manchester, Yes
May 2nd - London, The Dome
