Used to see Crane a lot round the NE & sometimes a bit further. There was a real buzz whenever they played in Newcastle, from tiny pub venues to bigger set ups like the Riverside, they played hard & we pitted pretty hard too. Imo the best band to come out of the area, they seemed to have a bit of a hiatus for a while then when they came back the whole musical landscape started to change & I don't think they got the kudos they deserved. A real shame as they were such a big part of the NE music scene & whenever I listen back to them - which is regularly - I'm transported back to great night's down at the Riverside & carefree times. Btw, anyone know if there was any truth in the rumours they were being courted by Discord Records in the US? They def had that angular post-hardcore/whatever sound that would have fitted well with Discord. Anyway, great track here, I was there that night, cheers for posting it up.
