Lupen Crook

Lupen Crook is a British singer-songwriter and visual artist known for his raw, DIY ethos and genre-blurring sound that mixes folk, punk, and alternative rock. Hailing from Medway, Kent – a region with a storied underground music scene – Crook emerged in the early 2000s with his band The Murderbirds, crafting gritty, storytelling-driven tracks that tackle themes of societal decay, personal turmoil, and dark humor. His work, including albums like *Eviction Songs* and *British Folk Tales*, often feels like a scrapbook of Britain’s overlooked corners, delivered with visceral vocals and jagged acoustic energy.

Crook’s discography, including recent releases like *Wild Nature* and *Christmas On Drugs*, showcases his restless creativity, bouncing between stripped-back folk confessionals and chaotic, experimental noise. A fiercely independent artist, he’s built a cult following through self-released music, unflinching live performances, and a knack for turning life’s bleakest moments into oddly anthemic art. Whether he’s singing about rotting teeth or existential dread, Lupen Crook remains a defiantly unique voice in the UK’s alternative scene.
