crumb got together in Dublin in 2004 with no great plan in mind except to play back to basics short indie guitar pop tunes. Like most bands we find it hard to describe ourselves, we like to say that we write short sweet melodic jangly pop. We released our debut album ’evenings & weekends’ in 2005 and has received rave reviews to-date.
