The CROWD
"Letter Bomb" Digipack CD
The year was 1978. The place was Huntington Beach, CA. The band was THE CROWD, and nothing would ever be the same again. THE CROWD were the vanguard of the Orange County Beach Punk explosion of the late 1970s. They helped create and define a timeless sound which remains influential even today, nearly three decades later. One of the first and one of the best bands of their era, THE CROWD are still going strong as the new millennium beings. TKO is proud to release "Letter Bomb"(originally on the now-defunct Flipside label), THE CROWD's seminal 1996 comeback album. Also included in this new version is the entire "Dig Yourself" EP as bonus tracks. Break out those boxes of day-glo clothes you packed away and head on down to the show to pogo yourself into a frenzy!! THE CROWD are kicking the door wide open for you once again!! STAY TUNED FOR THE LIMITED VINYL VERSION, COMING SOON IN 2008!!!
