Eight years of performing together enables The CrawPuppies to take a blue-collar approach on
Peaceful Amnesty. All 12 songs, composed by singer-guitarist Chad Clifford, are well-crafted,
from the power pop of "Outta My Head" to the easy listening "Never Asked For More." The
CrawPuppies have other tunes like the gorgeous John Lennon homage, "Ode To The Eggman,"
and the harder rock of "Used To Be." (Contact: www.crawpuppies.com.)
