Retro Crooks
Conrad Dangerfield
(self released.)
A jittery, jerking little number that recalls Hot Club de Paris- gives you cheap thrills that throw you around the room. The dueling guitars bounce off each other while the stop-start drumming wobbles in and leaps around the song like it's a bouncy castle. Vocally a little Arctic Monkeys. It still has enough spunk to be enjoyable. "Cool yourself boy, You'll do yourself an injury," they sing, so watch out on those indie dance floors because this will be there and you will throw yourself around. You've been warned.

People Say,
"Retro Crooks: A jolly sounding Indie/Punk outfit from Enfield. Dirty-sounding guitars combined with melodic basslines make this band a highly danceable treat for any music fan"
’’Fast paced vocals and tinny guitar sounds blended with a blast of twiddled hooks and originality make Retro Crooks the most British sounding band to emerge from London. You can’t afford to miss this band"
"Fast paced growling Indie Punks RETRO CROOKS could make a corpse dance. RETRO CROOKS will bombard you with tunes you won’t be able to get out of your head although why you would want to is beyond me. Be warned you’ll be whistling these tracks for days."
"Hey your from Retro Crooks.........You guys are shit"
''Since when have a band sounded this FUN. UK's Retro Crooks are stuffed with jumpy hooks, first class choruses and a rare feel good factor. All four tracks here are killers so enjoy them to the fullest!''
"With air punching lyrics and adrenaline rushed background noise. Retro Crooks are storming the Indie-Punk scene with their electric paced, dirty but addictive rhythm."
Sam Neill, Truth Explosion
“In recent times spazzy-indie-pop has become too commercialised for its own good! So thank fuck Retro Crooks are keeping it real with this genuinely unique twist on a stagnant genre, they are an absolute treat. Check them out, you won't be disappointed!”
Joe Savins, Who Killed Laura Palmer?
Retro Crooks are a four piece guitar band hailing from Enfield, North London. We make music.
Sometimes we forget how to play our songs live.
