Inhale/Exhale

Product Information

Alongside the announcement of the new album, THOSE DAMN CROWS have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming; Wake Up (Sleepwalker). Speaking about the new song, Greenhall says, “it’s meant to be upfront and personal. It’s supposed to make you sit up and think about how we are all living in today’s society, where the rich are getting richer, and where tech giants are moulding us into whatever and however THEY see fit via technology and social media. Get your heads out of your phones. Look up, WAKE UP!” There was a moment between four of them, during the making of This Time I’m Ready’s deeply touching video that honours the people they lost. Thomas was recording his parts in the next room. Greenhall, Wood, Winchurch and Huxford were seated on chairs in a ring. Inhale/Exhale answers a lot of questions Point Of No Return left us with. The main answer being this isn’t a band in danger of running out of steam. While there are some slight stop gaps in terms of quality, this is a solid effort from THOSE DAMN CROWS and one the band should be proud of. There are some things which need fine tuning but which band doesn’t need that? THOSE DAMN CROWS may still be on the smaller end of the scale, but this is a band with the potential to project themselves many leagues above where they are now. Inhale/Exhale should be the launch pad for exactly that.

This Time I’m Ready was the first song I sang,” Greenhall says, “and Ronnie had to go home because his dad was unwell.” He pauses. “Ronnie’s dad died a couple of days later. It might even have been that day.” Shane discusses the secret behind the success of 'Inhale/Exhale'': “'Inhale/Exhale' is a real combination of both Crows albums to date, but with a real sense of production elevating and evolving what we’ve done on past Crows records. No matter what song you decide to play, whether it's one of the many hard hitting songs or a softer piano-based song, there’s something there in the distance, lingering, a sonic sense of connection, if you will. I'm not sure that we’ve had that on our other records.” Whilst the listeners ear is drawn to that powerful voice of Greenhall, it’s the music upon which his vocals sit that really grab your attention. Catchy riff upon catchy riff have you nodding your head as Ronnie Huxford’s drum battery pummels your eardrums. On 5th July 2023 the band were the support act for The Hollywood Vampires at Scarborough Open Air Theatre.

The hard freeway driving of ‘Man On Fire’ follows with a delicious blend of light and dark shades lovingly whisked together.

Those Damn Crows have the aura of a band to never sell out, sacrificing integrity for their bank balances, but more an outfit prepared to continue working hard, pushing onwards and releasing the music they want to make and the fans love.In 2021 I saw the band at Steelhouse Festival and predicted that they’d be headlining the event by 2023. They’ve been announced as special guests, so I wasn’t far away. If they aren’t closing the event at the top of the mountain in two years’ time, I’ll be amazed. Exploding uncontrollably out of Pontypridd, self-proclaimed as “South Wales’ loudest’, this is a band that straightforwardly does what it states upon the tin. With a Stooges swagger the growling punk fury of latest single ‘Chewing Glass’ navigates the Arena onto an unexpected course from the very off. Even with having opened for the Crows at the Chepstow Castle gig last summer the collective freneticism has taken more than a few by surprise from what I can see.

[10]Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Shane Greenhall says, “the album is talking openly and honestly about how we react as individuals to our life’s surroundings and experiences. Have you ever noticed when you experience an emotion that your breath changes? We all must learn how to breathe in certain scenarios. How we respond is sometimes more important than how we react in those unpredictable scenarios. We can all breathe, but how we breathe and the manner in which we inhale, exhale can literally change how we feel in that moment.”
