Bio
s a member of such semi-legends as the Prisoners, The Solarflares, JTQ, Thee Headcoats and more recently The Stabilisers (amongst a much longer list), Allan Crockford has played an important if low-key part in establishing the Medway area's reputation as a hotbed for spirited, uncompromising garage rock with a strong DIY ethic. Playing with such Medway notables as Graham Day, Billy Childish and James Taylor, his reputation was as the reliable sideman for more flamboyant figures. Now he has found a late flowering talent for writing his own material. The Galileo 7 were formed to play the songs he had been storing up for the last 3 or 4 years.
While the band still has the trademark punk ('66 and '76 versions) fire and energy that marks out the Medway sound, there are extra elements in the music that shifts it away from the trademark crashbangwhallop... call it pop-psych, punkadelic, powerpop or whatever you like. If it's energy you're after you won't be disappointed, but there are also tunes and harmonies by the bucketload to guarantee that these songs hang around in your head long after the initial sonic impact has faded.
Favorite Music
Nuggets, punk rock, power-pop, freakbeat, garage rock, pop-psych,mod rock, paisley underground. You know the sort of stuff... or else you wouldn't be here.
The new album by The Galileo 7 'False Memory Lane' is out now. Featuring ex-Prisoners/Solarflares/Prime Movers/Headcoats man Allan Crockford (ie me), it's a Medway psychedelic-pop fest. Available from www.thegalileo7.co.uk on vinyl and CD.
