With the sledgehammer blow of their debut 'Hard Drive Error' (2024), Green Crow Collective nailed themselves to the firmament of the alternative Belgian scene. The record was warmly received by press and radio and catapulted the band towards large stages at home and abroad. For example, the band played at Dranouter Festival, Ancienne Belgique, De Roma, ESNS, Bospop, Grensrock, Kneistival, Patronaat (NL), and as support for Living Colour and Skunk Anansie.
On their newly appearing album 'Lobotomie', the songs are even more direct, bolder, and more uncompromising, without losing the playfulness that makes their music so recognizable. Green Crow Collective dissects the contemporary human and sings about the chaos of existence in English, West Flemish, German, French, and even Djiberish.
The infectious, explosive mélange evokes echoes of The Clash, Mano Negra, T.C. Matic, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Fontaines D.C., P.I.L., Idles, and 16 Horsepower, without ever falling into pastiche.
Those who saw Green Crow Collective at work in de Singer in 2024 know that the band is iron-strong live. Each performance results in an energetic whirlpool, led by a mesmerizing shaman. Struggling is useless; a pill afterward helps.
