Eddie Argos and Dyan Valdés are correcting the mistakes of pop songs past. So far they have defended the belittled blue collar worker from Kanye West's "Gold Digger," told Gerry and the Pacemakers that in fact it is okay to walk alone, dumped the manipulative Martha Reeves on behalf of poor Jimmy Mack and taken the misguided instructions of a 17th century ballad to its logical conclusion.

The project was formed by Gregor Mackintosh (Paradise Lost) with the help of his colleagues from At The Gates and My Dying Bride. Their music combines elements of death and doom metal which resulted in the single
The Crookes are not the pilfering scoundrels that their name suggests, but rather met in a leafy Sheffield suburb of the same name. Born from a mutual love of 60's pop and rag-time indie, the band have already established their own very unique sound. Expect singalongs, hand clapping and war-time Romance.
