Bridgend, GB · 2014–present · active
Bridgend, Wales' Those Damn Crows keep the spirit of classic hard rock alive with their pounding, ultra-melodic anthems that channel the energy of 70s and 80s rock through a modern lens. Their 2025 album 'God Shaped Hole' reached number one on the UK Official Albums Chart, a career-crowning achievement after a decade of relentless gigging and independent hustle on Earache Records. Named after drummer Ronnie Huxford's father shouting at birds in his garden, the Welsh quintet have built their success entirely on the strength of their incendiary live performances and working-class, fan-first ethos.
