The Crocked Monsieurs are a South London band consisting of songwriters and producers Chris Howard (lead vocals, lead guitar, keyboards) and Colin Batters (rhythm guitar, vocals, harmonica) accompanied by Tony Heasman (bass) and Mick Taylor (drums). The band targets a mature audience who is not into talent contests and teenage pop, but wants to listen to new quality music.

The song Home Sweet Home was recorded in support of Refuge, an organisation for women and children experiencing domestic violence. It was inspired by conversations between a close friend of the band about her own experiences of violence at home. The song has been played on several radio stations and was included on Red Dragon Records compilation CD 2nd Renaissance.
