Beware Believers

Beware Believers

‘Beware Believers’ is the second album from London punks Crows and is due for release April 1st 2022 via Bad Vibrations Records. Dealing in an incendiary noise-rock/post-punk sound, Crows are notorious for their high-octane live shows – not only are they a staple of the London scene but they’ve also set off on a number of always-riotous tours around the UK and Europe and were set to fly over to the US for the 2020 SXSW before Covid struck. ‘Beware Believers’ is the follow-up to their 2019 debut album ‘Silver Tongues’ which was released on the IDLES-run Balley Records label (a sold-out UK tour with IDLES followed the album’s release.) The band have also shared stages with the likes of Wolf Alice, Girl Band, Metz, Slaves and Protomartyr and have been highly praised by the likes of BBC 6 Music, Radio 1, Kerrang, NME, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, DIY, Loud & Quiet, Mojo, Q and many more. Talking about ‘Beware Believers’, frontman James Cox says: “‘Beware Believers’ is inspired by what was going on in the world around Summer 2019. Covid wasn't in our lives and the biggest impact was Brexit and the madness our government were putting us through. I was reading a lot of JG Ballard and Kurt Vonnegut, mad dystopian novels, while all this craziness was going on around us. It was a weird headspace to get into.” Carrying some of their most politically-driven work to date, ‘Beware Believers’ contains songs about the DWP scandals in which the British state deemed vulnerable people fit for work when it wasn’t safe to do so (‘Closer Still’), attacks on the division and nationalism that Brexit brought about (‘Garden of England’) and frustration about the oft-recognisable plight of being forced to work a job you hate and the mundanity of a hand-to-mouth existence (‘Slowly Separate’).
