Crawlers, a Liverpool-based band, has been at the forefront of the city’s booming alt-rock scene, with their grunge and stadium-sized emo inspired music earning them a dedicated fanbase. Their devoted following, known as the “Creepy Crawlers,” have been queuing around the block for their liberating and highly emotional live performances. This fan dedication has brought the band comparisons to Yungblud and My Chemical Romance, both of whom have previously invited Crawlers to support them on tour.
In 2021, the band released “Come Over (Again)”, which has racked up over 50 million Spotify streams, making it their defining song. It’s no surprise that the song has now found a home on Crawlers’ first album, ‘The Mess We Seem To Make’. The album departs from the band’s tour de force approach evident in their 2022 mixtape ‘Loud Without Noise’. The records allow the band’s material room to breathe, placing Holly Minto’s earnest vocal delivery at center stage.
The anthemic atmosphere continues on the album, with its intimacy juxtaposed with soaring guitar passages and the intensity of Liv Kettle’s bassline. Further, the album explores and embraces the harsh truths of loneliness and old wounds, as highlighted on tracks such as the murky ‘End Up Alone’ and the fabulous ‘Would You Come To My Funeral’. Minto’s biting and impactful tone assures the listener that “there’s a seat laid out for you”.
