This is so so so delayed, so apologies for that - the troubles of 'real life' affect us all. It feels like it's been way too long coming, this debut LP Scatter from Crushed Beaks, but it's good to see the band taking the bull by the horns and going it on their own.

"Rising Sign" is typical of Crushed Beaks - melodic and fuzzy noise-pop, full of catchy guitar riffs and toe-tapping drum-hits. It's wild, carefree and a perfect display of youthful zest and vigour. "The more I think about it, the less the I care" - couldn't have said it better myself.

Scatter is set for a self-release on February 9th, but you can also sign up the the Crushed Beaks mailing-list for a Free Download of "Rising Sign".
