Crushed Beaks have long been one of our favourite new bands. The chisel-jawed guitar-and-drums duo have been playing their screeching, wilfully distorted set of short-but-very-sweet songs for a few months now, doing their time in some of London’s less desirable spots – and invariably either holding venues enraptured, or emptying them almost immediately.
Now the pair have a single on the way through the ever-brilliant Too Pure singles club (mastered at Abbey Road, no less – an odd counterpoint to their sludgy production), from which we are happy to premiere a track.
‘Sun Dogs’ is a significant step up from the scrappy demos that we have played to death. Its barrage of guitars, lush but simultaneously utterly disgusting, can’t detract from the fact that, at heart, Crushed Beaks are a pop band. A brilliant, hook-filled, defiantly noisy pop band. Highly recommended.
