Crown Court release new album ‘Heavy Manners’ out April 21st via Randale Records

29th March 2023 0 By Jon Deaux

Hailing From North London, Crown Court is Oi! music’s shaven-headed torch bearers.

This is guitar-slinging at its finest, blistering Chiswick rock and roll paired with a streetwise swagger unparalleled in the so-called ‘scene’ today. Power met with the finesse of a Staffy barking at a chain link fence, their latest offering ‘Heavy Manners’ proves not to disappoint. Head nods and cues to the 80’s glory days of the genre’s past is just one of many tricks in the bag for a band dubbed ‘Trouble from London’ has to offer.

Headed by Trevor Taylor, the band’s leader since inception with Ralph Orton (Concrete Bollox, Last Crusade) delivering masterful bass lines create an axis from which a fuel-powered machine turns. Exceptional writing from Danny Swan (Half Charge) and Ronny Hamersma (The Reapers, Roughed Up) show the heaven and hell attitude that this band has made a statement time and time again. Jack Lewis (Code Blue) gives all a backbone and combined shows that pedigree from this background cannot be bought or imitated. Five different men, five different estates, music made for the tower blocks more than a long-haired, tote bag touting art venue.

This is Crown Court, this is the underbelly of London, and this maybe the realist band you hear all year.

Crown Court are Trevor Taylor, Ronny Hamersma, Danny Swan, Ralph Orton, Jack Lewis.
