About Me


THIS MAN SINGS WITH US, WATCH YA PURSES!
Stuff on the playa...
'Crazy Arsehole' and 'Boney Finger' are taken from the Cranks imminent long player 'More Meat Than Jelly', whilst 'Tuxtla' hails from the LP 'Rubber Swording' and ' Day To Day Business' lives on the 'Childish Pranks' album.
Give them a spin and let us know what you think
It's also worth checking out the nasty stuff that's on Zipboy's (Tom Drummer from Cranks) CD; 'Teeth' which, by the way, is now available! Get em while they're hot!
We update the tracks on the music player regularly. As well as previewing new stuff we're happy to take requests from our ridiculously huge back catalogue, tell us what you want and we'll regurgitate it onto the player for ya!
The main Cranks site has a list of every bloody track we've recorded. Plus there's a further 3 mp3 tracks to check out!
Also on the site are details of how to get ya mits on our last two cds, both priced at a very affordable 6 quid a pop.
Childish Pranks. Tracks include: Hammond (Back of the Car), Clowndog, Moustachioed Witness. Plus 10 others.
Rubber Swording. Tracks include: Tuxtla, Session Plan, The Excuse. Plus 11 others.
A lot of the logos and photos on this site are copyright James Kirkwood.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/13/2006
Band Website: probingcranks.co.uk
Band Members:

Influences: The buzz of the bees, the howl of the wolves, the croak of the frogs...
We have influenced many in our time, to do all sorts of things... but it would be terribly difficult to prove. Besides, these things very rarely come to trial...
Sounds Like: B52s meets the Dead Kennedys on a bad night in Deptford... or as Warren Ellis memorably said - "like someone recorded some South London boys with Stanley knives forcing the Pixies and the Fall to fuck each other."

Record Label: Go here
Type of Label: None

Aha - the first post

Well here goes nothing. Bit weird, Andy C's comment has gone, don't remember deleting that. Oh well. Gig on Sunday was very good - Diary excellent (I am beginning to recognise some of their songs now)...
