TOO MANY CROOKS were formed following a Bad Manners gig in Brighton. The group of friends felt that Ska music needed to be dragged kicking and screaming into the next millennium if it was ever going to haul itself out of the underground, where it had been left to fester since the end of the Two-Tone Era. They didn't just want to sound like a poor mans 'Madness' or 'Specials', and soon earned themselves support slots with the likes of 'The Selecter', 'Bad Manners' and 'Desmond Dekker', along with a loyal following of supporters who welcomed their new and exciting brand of Ska. The band released their self financed debut album, BOUNCE to great critical acclaim within the Ska World, and the band continued to be ahead of the field within the genre. However it was during the recording of their second album, INSIDE, that the band really came into their own and created something very different from their contemporaries. This album was not for the faint hearted Ska revivalists. The release of this ground-breaking album was followed by a tour of England and Europe, where they supported top American Ska band, 'The Mighty, Mighty Bosstones' and' The Dropkick Murphys'. The tour culminated with a show in Brighton alongside 'The Levellers', which featured Buster Bloodvessel performing some of 'Bad Manners' most famous songs with TOO MANY CROOKS. Their long awaited third album, SPANISH FLY combined the commercial sound of BOUNCE with the harder edge of INSIDE, broadening the bands appeal to the ska/punk fans. This album received rave reviews and became their fastest seller yet! To highlight the quality of the band's output, TOO MANY CROOKS were approached by PHANTOM PICTURES, who asked them to provide soundtrack music for British gangster film, 'BABY JUICE EXPRESS'. Featuring an impressive cast, including Nick Moran of, 'LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS', and Samantha Janus, the film was released on DVD in 2003 and boasts 4 TOO MANY CROOKS songs. In 2004 TOO MANY CROOKS were asked to record a version of the Piranhas classic TOM HARK in support of the campaign for a new stadium for Brighton and Hove Albion FC at Falmer. The new lyrics were provided by club poet in residence Attila The Stockbroker. The single reached number 17 in the national charts in January 2005!
