It’s so refreshing to hear a brand-new band that’s actually good, and shows the potential for more great music to follow after their debut single. That’s the story with England’s newest sensation, the Cretins.
Hailing from Brighton / South London, the Cretins have thus far released the digital single “Haven’t Got a Clue” as their the one and only song. Still, they’re off to a hot start: It’s a ’60s mid-tempo garage rocker that’s instantly catchy, contemporary, and memorable.
The Cretins are currently working on material for their debut album for Dirty Water Records. If it’s as cool as this one tune is, then we’ll have a great new album in store to really look forward to!
