‘Imperial Mind’ is the exciting debut single from the Manchester-based band Crook On The Wall. ‘Imperial Mind’ sets out the teenaged four-pieces’ intentions with authority and panache.

Fronted by Cole Johnson, whose outstanding Morrissey-esque vocal is the center-piece of ‘Imperial Mind’, Crook On The Wall also features the talents of songwriter and lead guitarist Elliot Carson whose ability to craft something special is obvious on this first release.

‘Imperial Mind’ was produced and mixed by Luke Owens (SHADE, Sarah Owens, Samm Hewitt) at Dusk till Dawn studios in Manchester. The songs’ captivating vocals and thought-provoking lyrics create a powerful and melodic tone. Crook on The Wall makes a powerful statement with this first release, bringing true meaning and emotion into the world of music.

From the beginnings of writing and practicing while at high school, the band, whose members are aged between 14 and 16, have a distinctive flair for originality with their distinct sound and their insightful lyrics. ‘Imperial Mind’ provides deep insight into many politically challenging areas of society while also showcasing their incredible musicianship that belies their young ages.

“Handling their set with confidence and passion” – Jessica Draper Mann (from a recent live review).
