Having made a sizable stack of brilliant records, Rob Crow's popularity is growing, and his songwriting prowess is ever-expanding.

Last week, Cory Brown, the founder of San Francisco-based indie Absolutely Kosher which the Wrens presently record for, reached the end of his patience with Wind-Up when the multi-million dollar super-indie responsible for the success of Creed and Evanescence declined his final offer of $100,000 to purchase the albums outright.
According to a press release sent by Absolutely Kosher late last week, two previous attempts to simply license the records were met with insistance from Wind-Up that an advance the label had given to the Wrens in 1996 be repaid before they would even be open to negotiating.
When offers to license the records were initially offered by Absolutely Kosher, Wind-Up allegedly requested $75,000 from the label, supposedly the amount they had spent promoting Secaucus, before they would even discuss the possibility.
