THE CRIMEA

THE CRIMEA are proud to announce the release of their second single from their free album "Secrets of the Witching House". Long before Radiohead, Coldplay and the likes decided to give their music away for free, THE CRIMEA were the original unwitting pioneers of this now "revolutionary" new marketing concept. They because the first established band to release a free album in early 2007, a landmark industry event which led them to appear in Q magazine's "Top Five Moments That Changed Music History", receiving global news attention from the Hindu Times to the Wall Street Journal and everything in between. The single "The 48a Waiting Steps" will be free to download the week of release from Monday, June 30th at 7digital.com. Fifty exclusive 7 inch vinyls with Davey's handwritten lyrics will also be available at Sister Ray Records, Soho, London, where the band will be playing in-store on the day of release. The accompanying music video is the first self-made CRIMEA video, where the band have been involved in the creative and writing element, with their mucky fingers all over the editing suite. In July THE CRIMEA are officially releasing "Secrets of the Witching Hour" in the USA before returning to the UK in August to play festivals.
