From working in retail to being delivery drivers, they’ve been no strangers to the gruelling work that it takes to get to this point. Having gone viral, major label Polydor took notice and signed them in early 2022, giving the band the chance to work on music full-time, and truly realise their ambitions.
This all came to a head with the release of Crawlers’ brilliant debut mixtape, Loud Without Noise. While the band joke that it’s a somewhat “random” collection of songs, it still cohesively satiates the far-reaching influences of each member – from Tool-loving Liv to the My Chem-obsessed Holly.
“At the start [of our career], we did pretty much sit down and say, ‘Okay, here’s all our influences and here are the crossover bands who we all like – let’s just see what happens,’” explains Amy of how their captivating alt.rock came about.
“Sometimes it’s been hard to work out how to make us all happy, but at the same time it’s what’s made our music so fucking special,” adds Holly.
Still, there’s more to be done. With plans to play festivals and return to America this year, as well as writing their debut album, Crawlers are gearing up to jump off the enormous stepping-stone they’ve created for themselves.
“I think now, we’re very settled into who we are and coming to terms with being a signed band,” says Liv, proudly. “We’ve built up these foundations of our own little world, and now it’s like, ‘Okay, we’re ready!’”
