Sounds Like: "Band of the week.....This weeks featured band, un-signed from Glasgow (not for long me thinks). Lots of you will have seen these guys live and will agree when I say they have something....."
Steve Gibbsy, DJ www.l107.com
"Sounding fuckin Good....."
Tony Rogers (The Charlatans)
".....Another popular band name, this band have the kind of sound that is firmly entrenched in the early 90s. Its baggy, its Madchester, and yet its got a little something edgier. Crackdown draws heavily from Primal Scream (particularly the Screamadelica and Vanishing Point albums), which comes as no surprise given the Glaswegian connection. The guitar-play recalls vintage Stone Roses, but more sinister. A good fit for those who just missed out on the early 90s British Invasion!"-
Megan Petty, Loose Record, NYC.
"......Its clear this band have been influenced by bands such as The Doors, Pink Floyd and The Stone Roses, which come flooding from their sound, especially in songs such as ’The Sides Are Divided’ and ’The Hardest Floor’ which were the real crowd pleasers of the night and managed to get a few female dancers strutting their stuff at the side of the stage.
The good thing about all these member changes is that it gave the band a chance to experiment with their sound. For me, this lineup is a keeper. Go have a listen to some of the tracks on their website and get a better idea of what Im talking about."-
