Those Damn Crows – share deeply personal track “Still” + announce 12 special headline shows

Affable Welsh rock squad THOSE DAMN CROWS are levelling up for the festive season by dropping not only a brand new single from their forthcoming new album God Shaped Hole, but by announcing a very special string of underplay headline dates for March 2025.

Available on all DSPs now, fans can unwrap the deeply personal new single “Still.” The track is taken from God Shaped Hole, which is set for release on April 11th via Earache Records.

The festive season can be a difficult time for many. Often appearing very jocular, frontman Shane Greenhall opens up about one of his lowest moments, when he was at his most vulnerable, in the new track.

Shane shares, “‘Still’ is an exact time and place where in my mind the thought of ‘the end’ was more comforting than actually being here. I don’t reflect with any negativity at all, in fact quite the opposite. Thankfully… through music I’m constantly reminded that all thoughts pass, and all forms are temporary, reinforced when I visit my ‘go to’ place on the coast of Southerndown, where I had those thoughts and wrote this song. 

I always sense and feel a contradicting force/truth there, validating just how tiny and insignificant we all are yet how incredibly lucky and fortunate we are to be here at the same time. Whether we’re here or not, been and gone, the world will carry on regardless, but we can choose to make it a better place while we’re here.”

THOSE DAMN CROWS have also announced a dozen, very special underplay headline dates for March 2025 – quite a different affair from their upcoming largest headline show ever at Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on December 14th.

There’s also an exclusive ticket pre-sale for fans pre-ordering the album. Everyone who pre-orders God Shaped Hole from the Earache Records webstore at earache.com/thosedamncrows before 11.59pm on Tuesday will be sent a pre-sale link via email this Wednesday at 10am. Anyone who has already ordered their copy from the Earache Records webstore will get an email with the link too.

Shane adds, “Feels so good to say us Crows are back with a very unique U.K. tour, just a week or two before the release of our new album ‘God Shaped Hole’.  We can’t wait to catch up with you all, performing live and loud in these smaller, unique venues. Crowfamily… it’s gonna be killer! Let’s F***in Crow!”
