THOSE DAMN CROWS SHARE LATEST SINGLE “DREAMING”

EXTENSIVE U.K. INSTORE TOUR ANNOUNCED

NEW ALBUM GOD SHAPED HOLE OUT APRIL 11TH VIA EARACHE RECORDS

Bridgend-based, salt-of-the-earth rockers THOSE DAMN CROWS are not a group to rest on their laurels, gearing up for the release of their new album by unveiling not just a new single and video, but also an extensive string of UK instores.

Heartfelt latest single “Dreaming” – out today – is an epiphanic voyage of discovery, taken from the forthcoming album God Shaped Hole, due out April 11th via Earache Records.

Asked about the track, frontman Shane Greenhall explains, “Dreaming… is a song about the moment you realise you’re no longer mentally and emotionally locked up. When you stop the guilt, suffering, and self sabotage, your dreams, perspective, and reality change simultaneously.”

Watch the video for “Dreaming” here. Get the track here.

Always grateful and appreciative of their fans, the hard-working five-piece have confirmed an extensive set of UK-instore appearances to coincide with the album’s release. With a massive 17 locations and both day and evening timings, the Instore Mega Tour is go!

What separates THOSE DAMN CROWS from so many other bands is the beating emotional heart at the centre of their music. God Shaped Hole reaffirms the band’s place at rock’s top table. It marries music fuelled by power, passion, and melody to an intelligence and emotional honesty that’s increasingly rare these days. Like all the best music, God Shaped Hole comes from the heart and the head.

“I don’t know how to write any way other than being completely honest,” says Shane. “Maybe I’m a little too honest and reveal a bit too much of myself. But I think that’s what people connect with.”

In the decade-plus since they formed in the fiercely working class town of Bridgend, South Wales, Those Damn Crows have gone from wide-eyed hopefuls playing to 20 people at the Camden Barfly to the leading lights of their generation, a genuine modern rock powerhouse spearheading the scene’s current resurgence, notching up a Top 3 album with 2023’s Inhale/Exhale and sharing massive stages with everyone from Queens Of The Stone Age and ZZ Top to the Alice Cooper/Johnny Depp supergroup The Hollywood Vampires and German punk superstars Böhse Onkelz.

Even by their standards, God Shaped Hole – recorded with longtime producer Dan Weller – covers a lot of musical bases while still retaining Those Damn Crows’ unique identity.

Anthemic opening track “Dancing With The Enemy” and the electrifying “Let‘s Go Psycho!” (released as a single before their triumphant main stage performance at 2024’s Download Festival) are guaranteed crowd-starters, while the supremely melodic “Dreaming” would sound perfect spilling from an open-top convertible as it powers down the Pacific Coast Highway and the pummelling “Spit And Choke” crackles with punky energy. Elsewhere, “Fake” possesses an unexpected yet muscular waltz-like groove as it turns an eye on those who use social media to sell a distorted perception of their own lives, “No Surrender” is as defiant as its title suggests, “Glass Heart” is a gleaming pop rock gem, and the soaring “The Night Train” possesses a beautifully restrained, folky edge.
