Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Crookes formed in Sheffield in 2008 with Alex Garside on vocals and guitar, Daniel Hopewell on bass, and Russell Bates on drums. Their first album, 'Chasing Ghosts,' came out in 2010 and included the track 'Afterglow.' They followed it with albums like 'Hold Fast' in 2012, 'Gilded Lilies' in 2015, and 'Lucky One' in 2018.
Bates left the band in 2016, and they used session drummers afterward. In 2020, they released a song called 'Stars' that led to plagiarism accusations and a legal dispute, which they won. Their songs include 'Just Like Dreamers,' 'Maybe In The Dark,' and 'Bloodshot Days.'
