James Reyne has never been Australian Crawl's biggest fan
James Reyne still isn't sure why you love these songs, but he's starting to make peace with it.
Australian Crawl's reunion is complicated. In March, founding members James Reyne and Simon Binks sued Bill McDonough for trademark acquisition. Three months later, the band announced its first Australian tour since 1986. Reyne and Binks, along with former drummers David Reyne and John Watson, led the charge. However, Binks withdrew from the tour in September, citing scheduling conflicts.
This news came as no surprise, given the band's history of conflicts and animosity. Reyne has never been a fan of his own songs, often finding them "clunky" and admitting to personal cultural cringe. Despite this, he is grateful that fans still cherish these classics. The reunion tour, set to begin in October, is a testament to the band's resilience and the enduring appeal of their music.
