For much better than ten years, John Critchley sang business lead, played acoustic guitar, and guided the indie garage area rock-band 13 Engines with the launch of six information, including A Blur IF YOU ASK ME Right now and Perpetual Movement Machine. Once the Toronto music group split in 1997, Critchley got a little bit of period off and went in to the studio room with several musicians, including former mate-13 Motors guitarist Scott Stevenson and drummer Jon McCann, to record Crooked Mile.
