"The Crocketts have a sound like nothing you have ever heard before. Tracks such as 'Loved ya once' and 'Flower Girl' demonstrate the fantastic screaming abilities of this band. The songs can change from a calm melodic style to kick into a frenzy of screaming and heavier guitar riffs. Frontman Davey Crockett mixes an acoustic guitar and distortion to give The Crocketts that 'sound' that makes their style undescribable. The stand-out track on the album has to be 'Will you still care' which starts quite, light and calm until the chorus kicks in with Davey shouting out 'I don't f**king think so'. I truly can't express how good this album is, it should be made illegal not to own this album. Those who don't like this band clearly have no idea of what good music is!"

They may be skinny and wirey, BUT...

"with their eclectic mix of styles and tastes, the Crocketts are a welcome breath of fresh air in the stagnation of today's music world. A renowned live act who have already toured with the likes of the Stereophonics, Shane McGowan, and the Levellers, this energetic foursome from Aberystwyth have already built up a solid grass roots following of loyal fans on their travels. This debut album does not quite capture the essence of the live act, but it contains an array of excellent songs and is well worth buying. Can't wait for the new album!"

They may be skinny & wirey.....
