Leeds four-piece Crumbs are a new addition to the Skep Wax family and they bring a formidable sense of DIY pop to that imprint. Citing influences as disparate as The Go-Go's and Gang of Four, these folks are doing everything right as far as I'm concerned. And I'm happy to highlight their new single ahead of their full-length album in May.
"You're Just Jealous" wears its vibe on its sleeve. Buzzing and energetic, the tune wastes no time in hitting a riff and groove reminiscent of the best material from The Au Pairs, Shop Assistants, and -- of course -- Gang of Four. Bright, smart, and sharp as a razor, this number earns fans for this quartet quickly. I'm very eager for more music from Crumbs!
You're Just Jealous by Crumbs will be out on May 10 via Skep Wax
