UK Rockers THE CROOKS recently released a brand-new single ‘In Time’. The single has gathered strong airplay and has pushed THE CROOKS into the global spotlight.
The Crooks Volume 1 contains stripped-back acoustic versions of their new single ‘In Time’ and their biggest track to date, ‘She Walks Alone’. Both tracks feature emotive and powerful lyrics, coupled with heartfelt delivery and have been released via Golden Robot Records.
In Time
A conversation with hindsight designed to put you right on the edge of a joyous revelation.
This epic release pulls on heart strings you didn’t know you had, and helps you to ask yourself that all important question… “if you could turn the hands yourself, would you hold on to your wealth?”.
Powerful lyrics and stunning progressions walk you through a heartfelt yet uplifting experience and deliver a sense of comfort in either accepting what you’ve become or turning back those hands yourself. In Time.
She Walks Alone
A tale of admiration from the voice of a broken lover dreaming of what could be.
She Walks Alone is a story of how someone destined for failure can still be the light in someone else’s life. Looking through a window of fantasy and knowing that the bond between the two is the only thing that matters yet can never be.
Allow the moment produced by this emotive sound to take you to that land of make believe and know that nothing can stop you from loving those that may always walk alone.

After recently signing to Golden Robot Records, UK rock act THE CROOKS unveil their new single ‘In Time’.
The band’s debut release on the label, ‘In Time’ is epic, emotive and heartfelt, and will both punch you in the gut and caress your heart, all at the same time. Moving and thought provoking, the anthemic song will have fans around the world crying, reminiscing and singing their hearts out.
Recorded and produced by Hamish Dickinson at Phoenix Sounds, Hamish captured the emotion and power of the song, which will take you on a journey to a time not that long ago, yet, at the moment, seems another world away.
THE CROOKS might just be the band to steal more than your attention they might just steal your soul, a case of grand larceny at its finest.
THE CROOKS a 5-Piece Indie rock band hailing from Chesterfield, England previously best known for the famous crooked spire of the Church of St Mary and All Saints but that has changed THE CROOKS have replaced the Crooked (from the Crooked spire) as the most admired attraction in Chesterfield.
Jacko, Chris Stones, Duncan Couch, Conor Fletcher and Jonathan Keeler are THE CROOKS and collectively they deliver a villainously huge melodic, anthemic wall of sound that will soon become embedded in your heart and etched in your mind forever.
Drawing influence from DMA’s, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Verve and co. topped off with a nicely adopted punk tinge, they’re a brand-new band with a fresh outlook on the classic timeless melody driven rock sound for 2020.
2019 saw the band release a plethora of singles, most recently an edgy rock anthem called Silhouette Sunshine. Silhouette Sunshine was the follow up single to the expressive and balladesque She Walks Alone which was released in January 2020 and shows a different side to the band. Over 26,000 plus streams in the first week on Spotify alone is an amazing achievement for a band that was only 9 months old. The track was also picked as ‘This Feeling Track Of The Week’ and played by RadioX (UK) DJ Gordon Smart.
THE CROOKS are currently averaging over 42,500 streams per week on Spotify alone and the bands social media has hit record numbers with most videos hitting well over 30,000 views and currently hitting over 200,000 views.
2019 saw THE CROOKS sell out shows in England and Scotland and took the industry by the scruff of the neck and they are not letting go in 2020.
THE CROOKS have received airplay around the globe and on national radio stations including RadioX, BBC Introducing and several stations in the U.S.A, South America and all over Europe. After a heathy 2019, 2020 looks to be the breakthrough year for the band as their fanbase continues to snowball.
The official video for the song ‘Silver Sail’ from the Cairo-based Polish guitarist ANDRZEJ CITOWICZ can be seen below. The track is taken from his new solo album “In Time”, released independently on September the 12th.
‘In Time’ was recorded by Citowicz in collaboration with the German multi-instrumentalist and producer Dirk Arnicke and the Polish bass player Patryk Szymanski, both formerly of TACE (an international music project also known as The Andrzej Citowicz Experience).

“It’s been three long years since we started working on “In Time”, says Citowicz. “The process was not too difficult perhaps but certainly prolonged, as the album’s content developed and matured during the entire period… For me personally, the recorded material is a kind of bridge between the past and the future. It captures my present hopes and fears and can stand for an instrumental diary of sorts… Musically, we’re moving forward from what we’ve done on previous releases. “In Time” will be more organic sound-wise than its predecessors, with more progressive flavours to it. However, we can’t say we really forgot about the melodic aspects of our sound or the penchant for ballads and Hard Rock uptempos. In spite of the physical distance between me, Dirk and Patryk we’re all able to deliver cohesive, coherent material which stylistically is a resultant of our personal musical preferences”.
‘In Time’ is available in digital format on iTunes, Amazon and Youtube.
