The Crimea's "Tragedy Rocks" Available Via iTunes; In Stores Early '06

The Crimea's Tragedy Rocks will not be available in stores until early 2006, but is available digitally via iTunes now.

The band is fronted by a the extremely literate Irishman Dave Macmanus who has a published book as well as having written for such publications as NME and Kerrang. The Crimea showcase his talent for writing through his dark yet hopeful melodies. You may have heard their bizarrely cheerful tune, "Lottery Winners on Acid." The band were on tour this past summer, opening shows for Billy Corgan and are now out on their own.
