The Crums - Crummy (Horny Pony, 1998)

Nine-song promotional release that includes 3 of the 4 cuts from their single on Fandango Records. "Creepy Crawl," "I Got Nothin" and "Oh Yeah" have the same out-of-the-surf/onto-the-barroom-stage sonics that made Radio Birdman an Australian national treasure. Though "Mr. Bartender (Ode To Geoff Osteen)," "Biker Chick" and "Detox Girl" are like-minded numbers also guilty of SWI (Surfing While Intoxicated) at Bell's Beach, The Crums' take of the '60s nugget "I Ain't No Miracle Worker" is a level-headed love song that's suitable to play for your girlfriend while relaxing on the sand at midnight. Proof that one can be a sensitive guy (and still rock) without having to pick up an acoustic guitar like billions of wanna-be-Casanovas, past and present.
