Very… […] but it’s also downright inspiring” (4 of 5 stars) – Rolling Stone.“The record presents Crass’s lyrics calmly, often demonstrating how sane and practical they are; it proves once again, and kind of thrillingly this time, that no music is immune to interpretation” – The New York Times.“Folk maverick raids anarchist commune and finds catchy tunes… Works wonderfully”– Spin“Jeffrey Lewis’ talents appear without end… (on 12 Crass Songs he) magically makes the anarcho-rockers’ anti-establishment savagery his own, by wrapping their barbed sentiments in his trademark mottled tea-towel warmth” – NME.“12 Crass Songs succeeds utterly… eerily beautiful and strangely affecting”– Plan B Magazine“He’s taken hold of any number of my old stormy favourites and breathed fresh life and fire into them...Man, I’m in awe of Jeffrey right now.Who’d have thought he could have done that?” – Everett True / Village Voice“Quite brilliant” – (4 of 5 stars) MOJO.“It’s no mean feat to transform such abrasive harangues into lush, tuneful folk… without defusing their righteous anger… but Crass’s intelligent and indignant screeds could not hope for a more sympathetic translator.” (4 of 5 stars) – THE GUARDIAN.Blang Records and Jeffrey Lewis have history: before Blang was a label, it started life as a live night at the 12 Bar Club in Denmark Street, hosting many a set of the NY Antifolk artists over on UK shores, including Jeffrey Lewis.Now 20+ years since Jeffrey first played Blang.Native New Yorker Jeffrey Lewis is a comic book writer/artist and a musician.A cult hero birthed from the now infamous antifolk movement that sprung up on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the 90s, Jeffrey has released dozens of albums showcasing his unique blend of bleakly witty observations, scratchy, lo-fi punk and croaky folk/anti-folk, all firmly rooted in a strong DIY sensibility.Jeffrey and his band have toured the world multiple times over, released albums on Rough Trade, Moshi Moshi and Don GIovanni Records, and have been featured by NPR, The History Channel, The NY Times and more.UK/Ireland Tour Dates: Oct 7th Tunbridge Wells Forum, 8th Brighton Chalk, 9th Oxford Cowley Workers Social, 10th York The Crescent, 11th Edinburgh La Belle Angèle, 12th Belfast Ulster Sports Club, 13th Dublin Ireland The Grand Social, 14th Manchester Band on the Wall.
