The new Crippled Black Phoenix EP is an unashamed celebration of songs that have either influenced frontman Justin Greaves and CBP in music and life, or have been on the ā??cover song short listā? for quite some time, waiting to be recorded once the opportunity arose. Throughout the history of the band there have always been the occasional cover songs, but mostly consigned to the extra-or-hidden-track department, although a couple of songs made it onto albums such as 'Of A Lifetime' on 'I,Vigilante', and most recently 'Turn To Stone' on the critically acclaimed album 'Bronze', which were instant hits and popular live songs. Now itā??s time to dedicate a whole release to this CBP tradition. - .. HONORIFICS
