Having secured a slot alongside Sharks on their March/April tour, the lads from Crowns will have a set of new tracks from their new EP, set for release on St Piran’s day.
The six-track adopts a sound that could, perhaps, be described as Frank Turner’s Treasure Island, with a sestet of acoustic led and vocal harmonies that wouldn’t be out of place at a good old fashion smuggler’s pub sing-song. Tracks such as Kissing Gates and Full Swing purvey the atmospherics of traditional, jaunty folk songs with a categorical punk energy, virtually invisible upon today’s folk scene. Not to forget the great drinking songs, Whose Pint’s Whose and She Swears Like A Sailor, still conforming to their shanty-esque energy.
Summing up a shashbuckling jamboree bag of folk-punk finery.
Jonathan Hatchman.
