I bloody knew it. Right from the killer intro to the first ever song I heard from them back in March 2016 I just knew TV Crime were awesome. I knew Hooligans was just the start of a love affair I was going to have with the band. I didn't know much about them other than they were a 3 piece from Nottingham and I honestly don't know too much more about them now other than they gained an extra member along the way and that I was right, they are awesome. From that first song (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2016/03/tv-crime-hooligans.html), through subsequent singles and now onto a stunning debut album, I was bloody well right! Then again anyone with fully functioning ears and a modicum of taste could have told you the same thing.
So the new album. It's titled Metal Town, it's available on vinyl in Europe from German label Alien Snatch Records (http://www.aliensnatch.de/) and in the UK from TV CRIME Big Cartel (https://tvcrime.bigcartel.com/). It's also on Bandcamp : https://tvcrime.bandcamp.com/album/metal-town
To promote the album they're touring round Europe for the next couple of months and dates are on the photo at the top of this update. For more info go here : https://www.facebook.com/TELEVISIONCRIME/
Highlights from the album? To be honest, there's 13 of them. It's riff-tastic garage rock with it's roots in the 70's but which takes those influences and leaves us with a fresh sounding, catchy as hell record that sounds timeless. Album of the year contender? Hell yeah! This song is called Never Been In Love....
