Those Damn Crows are a Welsh rock band formed in 2014 in Bridgend, Wales.[1] They comprise vocalist Shane Greenhall, guitarist Ian "Shiner" Thomas, bassist Lloyd Wood and drummer Ronnie Huxford, with second guitarist David Winchurch joining the band soon after. The band's name came from Huxford's father who was feeding the birds in his garden one day when he shouted "Those damn crows!" Ronnie took the idea to the other members and they quickly settled on it as their band name.[citation needed]

The band were declared "Ones to Watch" by the UK's Planet Rock radio station in November 2017[2] and "New Band of the Week" in Metal Hammer magazine in 2018.[3] The band signed a worldwide, multi-album deal with Nottingham-based independent record label Earache Records[1] on 14 May 2018 and released their debut album Murder and the Motive on 5 October 2018. The album landed at number 5 on the Official UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart[4] and number 5 on the Independent Album Breakers Chart.[5] They subsequently released Point of No Return, which entered the UK Albums Chart at number 14 in 2020,[6] and then God Shaped Hole, which charted at number one. The latter was the first chart topper for Earache Records[7] and the first album to be released on the KiT format.[8]
