Hailing from Telford, Four Crooks is a four-piece indie rock band. During lockdown, they regrouped to a remote farmhouse to record their new EP ‘Black Magic’.
Title track ‘Black Magic’ is a foray into the Black Keys big riff catalogue. While it may start with a big base, and. Whilst Dave Morris is a clear vocal talent, the track fails to ignite any real excitement.
‘Feel Alright’ and ‘Paranoia’ though, are bristling with the potential that gets you up in the morning. ‘Feel Alright’ takes adventurous production and big riffs on a drug-fuelled night out that no one will remember. It’s a solo away from going somewhere truly special.
‘Paranoia’ doesn’t miss this opportunity. Eamon Russell’s guitars deliver total psychedelic carnage! The harder edges of the verses allow for Morris to be the emotive link between the band and soon to be massive venues.
