With their Cold Comfort EP around the corner - due 18 November via Telharmonium Records - as well as a run of European live dates on the horizon, CROWS have revealed 'The Itch'. With typical angst and nods to the unhinged, unsettling work of Joy Division and more recently Preoccupations, the London four blend dark, ferocious guitars with blistering percussion that grows out from the fuzzed, heady intro into a full-on, punked-up cut. It's no surprise that the group have been out on the road with the likes of Metz and Slaves; they've got the itch. -G.O'B
