The first review of Baby Boom (out Monday) has appeared on the web. Gigwise liked the lyrics, may like the band but didn’t like the single much when they reviewed it for their weekly round up. Click here to read the article on their website or on [More] to stay here and read it.
It seems that Gideon Coe had the band live in session for his Radio 6 show last Wednesday. If anyone has a recording of the show, send it this way. Click on the [More] button to see what he had to say about the band.

This weeks singles

Multinational balladeers The Crimea, meanwhile, are doing their best to convince us that they?re a bunch of emotionally-driven experimentalists, but new single ?Baby Boom? is dreary, uneventful indie rock without much going for it other than the admittedly fine line ?I guess you can call me Fred Flintstone?. Lyrically they?re on another level, but it?s tunes that really make us rush out to buy records, and if you can?t be bothered with those then what?s the point?

GIDEON COE
Mid-Morning Show

Wednesday 12th November
Today’s session band are more East End than Eastern Europe, although they do have a name redolent of the rolling Steppes.
The Crimea (for it is they) will be playing live for us at 1141(ish). Look out for their new single Baby Boom, out on Monday.
There’s a new feature to break in; ALL ABOARD THE WIST WAGON pits two sighing songsters back-to-back, with no comment required.
Today’s GREAT LOST ALBUM is a suitably wistful affair too, being Nick Drake’s Pink Moon.
