UK rock newcomers THE CROOKED 45 have announced their debut EP Heathens, due for release on 10th April 2020. To coincide with the announcement, the trio have released ‘Future Scholars’, which follows previous singles ‘Voices On The Radio’ and ‘Kitchen Sink Drama’. Brash and bold, THE CROOKED 45 deliver their message with big riffs, smart, relatable lyrics and catchy choruses.
“‘Future Scholars’ trading knowledge for followers,” the band comment. “This song is about the negative impact social media can have on many of our youth.”
