Crows is the sound of a band that's evidently listened to a whole lot of Birthday Party -- even if the album is a little too slick and polished for this sound, the Crows find a few rather compelling constructions, and come out sounding not so bad at all. ~ Nitsuh Abebe, All Music Guide

Crows were invented in the 1890s by confectioners Ernest Von Au and Joseph Maison. The Black Crows trademark was registered in 1911. Originally, Crows were to be called "Black Rose," but the printer misheard the name as "Black Crows" and printed wrappers with the wrong name on them.
In 1972, Tootsie Roll Industries acquired the Crows brand by purchasing Mason Division from Candy Corporation of America. Crows were featured on Red Bar Radio.
Crows gained rejuvenated popularity in 2003 when Nicholas Hossin pioneered a campaign on the campus of Northwestern University called "Let Them Eat Crows".
