The Horrible Crowes is a relatively new band whose release of "Elsie" earlier this week may have jumpstarted with the help of iTunes Single of the Week. The band was formed by Brian Fallon from the band The Gaslight Anthem with friend/guitar technician Ian Perkins. The feel for the song is alternative meets Kurt Cobain. The raspy voice by lead singer Brian Fallon is often associated with grunge music while the more subtle instrumentals by Perkins scream alternative. It is an interesting combination to say the least though being the picky music snob that I am, it does not hold my attention (I'm working on it ok?!). The lyrics are that of another brokenhearted lover which have been of course, overdone but still are not too shabby. I feel that under a different combination of sounds this song could definitely work. Cover anybody?
