The Crack - S/T 7″
July 3rd, 2008 at 2:41 am
This is a re-post from June the 25th 2006. Added new scans and high quality rips.
From HC to some old powerpop/mod/punk by the obscure The Crack. Making The Effort is a fantastic punk stomper that I don’t think been comped yet? The b-side Easy Street sound very much like Flying Again by The Members in the beginning. It’s a great song but just a tiny tiny bit too long. Found some info about Steve Larkman who’s responsible for the writing of both the songs:”Records with the band The Crack featuring the tracks Easy Street and Making The Effort which were played on Radio 1. The band split amidst a legal battle with the record label…“.

Is this a different Crack than the one who put out an LP in 1989? They’re also british and are still together. Their stuff has been reissued on Captain-Oi! and they were quite good.
