Two Minds Crack – Cry Cry Cry (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

A. Front

REQUEST

A highly recommended new wave/synth-pop single from a really underated band.

“Cry Cry Cry” is a 1986 new wave/synth-pop pop single by Two Minds Crack formed in Port Talbot, Wales in 1980 by Kevin Jones, Mark Davies and Pete Martin. The band released several singles and one studio album “The Victory Parade”. The band were unable to have any chart success and were eventually dropped by their label Sire Records in 1988 just as the band were planning to record a second album. Shortly after, the band fell into obscurity and disbanded.

As a bonus track I have added the “Instrumental 7 Inch” which I lifted from the Uk 12″.
