Chesterfield’s The Crooks have been in anthemic mood of late. Their previous two singles ‘She Walks Alone’ (full review) and ‘Nevermind’ (full review) massive crowd uniting numbers. On their latest offering, ‘Silhouette Sunshine’, they return to fall to floor rock ‘n’ roll. Will it stack up?
We have said it before and, for this record, we will say it again. Whilst The Crooks have the hallmarks of Oasis, they a much much more than that! Their quality is on par, and at times, it surpasses their idols. Especially on this single!
The aggression and volatility are astonishing. It’s a whirlwind of psychedelia and punk. It’s only a matter of time before Creation23 come out of self-isolation to sign them.
The sex and violence of Supergrass’ ‘Richard III’ collides with the good aspects of ‘Be Here Now (yes, there was some) to create this fire breathing behemoth. They say, if you don’t learn your history, you’re doomed to repeat the past. Well, this ginormous psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll epic comes in under three minutes and thus, banishing ‘Be Here Now’. Somewhere in Muswell Hill, a tear of pride is rolling down Noel’s cheek.
You bet your life this single stacks up!
