Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Crimea have deservedly garnered much fuss with singles like "Lottery Winners On Acid" and "White Russian Galaxy"--tracks which have shown them more than capable of delivering catchy pop rock with a subtle retro-trendy twist. The real mark of a new band though lies in their capacity to create a larger entire listening experience – i.e. a debut album. For Tragedy Rocks, vocalist Davey Macmanus & Co have given it their best shot. On first listen there’s a sense of gutsy bravado underlying the songs that lives up to the promise of their hit singles, though on closer inspection the songs disappear into vapidity. The problem seems to lie in the band’s inability to suspend disbelief over repeated listens. Unlike the outfit they’ve been most compared to, The Flaming Lips, The Crimea just don’t offer the requisite drama and attitude. Their posturing seems like exactly that – posturing, all trousers and no action. Despite a genuine effort and some arresting moments, Tragedy Rocks simply fails to convince. --Paul Sullivan
CD Description
'Tragedy Rocks' is the debut album from former Crocketts frontman Davey Macmanus' new band, The Crimea. Combining Davey's abstract poetry with an intense, rocky yet psychedelic sound that brings to mind both The Pixies and The Flaming Lips. Includes the singles 'White Russian Galaxy', 'Baby Boom' and 'Lottery Winners On Acid'.
