Those Damn Crows are a rock and metal musical group that formed in 2014 in Bridgend, Wales. It's made up of vocalist Shane Greenhall, guitarist Ian "Shiner" Thomas, bassist Lloyd Wood and percussionist Ronnie Huxford, with the second guitarist David Winchurch joining the band shortly after. The band's name came from Ronnie Huxford's father who was feeding the birds in his garden, one day, he shouted "Those damn crows!" He quickly applied it to being as the official name of the band.[citation needed]

The band was declared as "The ones to watch" by England's radio station Planet Rock in November of 2017 and "The new band of the week" in the Metal Hammer magazine in 2018. The band signed a worldwide, multiple album deal with Nottingham-based record label Earache Records on 14th of May, 2018 and released their debut album Murder and the Motive on 5th of October, 2018. The album landed at # 5 position on the UK Rock & Metal Singles and Albums Charts and # 5 position on the Official Independent Album Breakers Chart. They subsequently released Point of No Return in 2020, which entered the UK Albums Chart at # 14 position that same year, and then God Shaped Hole, which charted at # 4 position. The latter was the first one to be at the top of the charts for Earache Records.
