Graham Moore. UK. The Crave. These are the 3 details I have.

There’s a Soundcloud with a bunch of songs, from different periods. All uploaded by Graham. there are other bands here like Geek Theatre, Electrocide,  Baby Doll, Wisconsin Terror Project and The Invisible Cowboy. This last one I believe was the band that was just before The Crave as it mentions a 1992 release on a compilation. The other bands I have no clue but if I was to guess they came after.

For The Crave the more interesting songs are Lazy Summer Day and Jenni. Both of them seem to come from an EP called “Greetings from Planet God” released in 1995. I haven’t been able to find this EP online. Was it a self-release? A tape perhaps? Don’t know the tracklist either. There must have been more songs. Just know that “Jenni” was the 3rd track.

Then there are more songs and the quality is more demo like and sometimes the tracks are rockier too. There’s “Destiny”, “Lies”, “Life’s A Gas” (T-Rex cover), “Always There” (recorded in 1990/91), “Bending Over Backwards” (1991), “Stone” (1994) and “Strawberry Bitch” (1994).

I see that at some point the band was a 3 piece with Graham Moore and two more. Last names were Farrell and Buchanon. It looks like in the early days it was Graham and someone called Avril, no last name.

There is also a recording at Network Radio from July 26th 1996 of them playing “Big Fun”. It mentions that Christophe F is on lead vocals. Could this be F as in Farrell?

One comment mentions a location called The Buddle where the band used to play. I am not a 100% sure. But there was a Buddle Arts Centre in Wallsend. That’s near Newcastle. Could the band hail from that area.

And that’s what my detective work got me. Some interesting bits but not too much. Anyone know anything else about this band?
