🖤🪶 “C’mon Wales!” “Tidy!” “Ych-a-fi to silence, Iechyd da to riffs!” 🪶🖤
From the industrial soul of Bridgend, South Wales, rises a band with enough fire to light up the valleys and enough riffs to rattle stadium walls – Those Damn Crows. This five-piece hard rock juggernaut has clawed its way from local pubs to global stages with a sound that’s equal parts thunder, soul, and unrelenting energy.
Whether it’s a raw emotional ballad or a stage-stomping anthem, the Crows bring it every single time – and they’re dragging the rock world with them.
Meet the Murder – Band Members
🦅 Shane Greenhall – Vocals & Keys 🎤🎹
Shane is the voice of the dragon – passionate, gritty, and capable of belting out arena-sized choruses or delicate, soul-tugging verses. His emotional depth and stage presence are second to none. He’s not just singing – he’s preaching the gospel of rock ‘n’ roll.
🦅 Ronnie Huxford – Drums 🥁
The rhythmic engine behind the madness. Ronnie’s drumming is tight, thunderous, and explosive – he brings the boom that makes your chest shake and your fists fly. A proper Welsh wallop behind the kit!
🦅 David Winchurch – Lead Guitar 🎸
With fingers like lightning and tone that could slice through slate, Dave’s solos are nothing short of epic. Melodic, heavy, and beautifully crafted – he’s the crow that soars the highest on six strings.
🦅 Lloyd Wood – Bass 🎸 (Bass)
Low-end thunder delivered with swagger. Lloyd’s basslines are the bedrock of the band’s power – thick, groovy, and locked in tight. He holds the line so the rest can fly.
🦅 Ian “Shiner” Thomas – Rhythm Guitar 🎸
The sonic backbone. Shiner’s riffs are solid as steel, providing that thick, meaty tone that makes the Crows’ sound so massive. While the lead soars, he’s the anchor that brings the hammer.
