Premier league Welsh rock squad THOSE DAMN CROWS are just days away from finally dropping their highly anticipated fourth album, God Shaped Hole, due out April 11th via Earache Records.
Packed full of certified bangers, with huge choruses and evocative lyrics, the band have whipped out one more single from the LP to tide fans over. "The Night Train" is released today and includes a bit of everything that makes THOSE DAMN CROWS so great, from its beautiful melody and wistful inspiration to its enduring refrain.
Frontman Shane Greenhall has this to say about the song, "Having had an extremely powerful and vivid dream where I visited my Father, and relatives who have passed away, It really felt like I had travelled somewhere else, to a different time/place rather than a dream.
It inspired me to write The Night Train - the transport that takes you to your loved ones who are no longer with us. The train takes you to their new home where you're temporarily invited and reunited with your loved ones for a short time, at the same time, every single night like a grieving Groundhog Day.
Your destination is one dream away."
The single's official video is more unusual for the group, as it is entirely animated. The band worked with noted animator Marco Pavone.
Shane comments, "I’ve always wanted an animated video to tell the story of a Crows song. ‘TNT’ was the perfect fit and song for doing so. When I storyboarded the idea to Marco (our animator) he absolutely nailed the brief. It almost feels like a bedtime story but the dream world is a place we visit every night. Imagination, manifestation is a gift and TNT is surely something we would all grab with both hands if we could get the chance to be with our loved ones again who have crossed."
Today, THOSE DAMN CROWS are also thrilled to announce ten UK headline shows in October 2025. Special guests are yet to be revealed.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 4th April via www.thosedamncrows.com. Fans should look out for select earlier O2, Live Nation, and artist presales.

In the decade-plus since they formed in the fiercely working class town of Bridgend, South Wales, THOSE DAMN CROWS have gone from wide-eyed hopefuls playing to 20 people at the Camden Barfly to the leading lights of their generation, a genuine modern rock powerhouse spearheading the scene’s current resurgence, notching up a Top 3 album with 2023’s Inhale/Exhale and sharing massive stages with everyone from Queens Of The Stone Age and ZZ Top to the Alice Cooper/Johnny Depp supergroup The Hollywood Vampires and German punk superstars Böhse Onkelz.
Even by their standards, God Shaped Hole – recorded with longtime producer Dan Weller – covers a lot of musical bases while still retaining Those Damn Crows’ unique identity.
Anthemic opening track "Dancing With The Enemy" and the electrifying "Let‘s Go Psycho!" (released as a single before their triumphant main stage performance at 2024's Download Festival) are guaranteed crowd-starters, while the supremely melodic "Dreaming" would sound perfect spilling from an open-top convertible as it powers down the Pacific Coast Highway and the pummelling "Spit And Choke" crackles with punky energy. Elsewhere, "Fake" possesses an unexpected yet muscular waltz-like groove as it turns an eye on those who use social media to sell a distorted perception of their own lives, "No Surrender" is as defiant as its title suggests, "Glass Heart" is a gleaming pop rock gem, and the soaring "The Night Train" possesses a beautifully restrained, folky edge.
God Shaped Hole Track List:
1. Dancing With The Enemy
2. Glass Heart
3. Fake
4. Dreaming
5. Let's Go Psycho
6. No Surrender
7. The Night Train
8. Turn It Around
9. Spit & Choke
10. Stil
The album's detailed artwork, by Alex Tillbrook, has a lot of thought behind it. Shane comments, "It's a collection of what's happened in the timeline of (my) life. It’s a combination of realities and dimensions. Each item on the album cover visually represents a song on the album and the emotion tied to it. The album landscape is another dimension where the dream world exists, images/songs/emotions are scattered around the vast desert in disarray. Is the sink hole there to destroy, to take away, or is it the path to a new dimension, new reality, new life? I feel that life, the dream state, psychedelics, technology are all co-existing and blurring the lines while asking the question 'what is real?'"
At a time when rock music is constantly (and incorrectly) written off, Those Damn Crows prove it’s more vibrant than it has ever been. God Shaped Hole is the sound of a band at the very peak of their powers – but one who are determined to keep building on their achievements.
“We’ve never been the sort of band who sit back and think at what we’ve done,” concludes Shane. “It’s always about what’s the next goal, the next tour. We can’t rest, we need to keep moving forwards. That’s what keeps us alive.”
