CRAWLERS are Holly Minto (vocals), Amy Woodall (lead guitar), Liv May (bass guitar) and Harry Breen (drums). They formed in 2018 putting in the hard yards, honing their live show with gigs across Merseyside. Word began to spread and soon Crawlers were attracting diehards from further afield. Over the past year the band have garnered a strong community and ever growing fanbase. Each new release has sealed Crawlers’ reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting young bands, with debut mixtape Loud Without Noise cementing their global status.

Crawlers are building a formidable live reputation encouraging the kind of organic fan base that will help them become the UK’s next big crossover alternative act. 2023 saw their biggest tour to date across UK, EU & US, including shows at Invisible Wind Factory and Heaven, and an incredible festival season including Glastonbury, Truck, Y Not & Victorious. Previous shows also include: My Chemical Romance support, Reading & Leeds and Reeperbahn. So far, 2024 has seen a comprehensive in store & out store routing and support tours with Mother Mother, Royal Blood and Jane’s Addiction. Crawlers performed at Reading & Leeds Festival 2024 on the main stage.
With The Mess We Seem To Make Crawlers have certainly proven their sticking power. Digging deeper into what fans already know and love about their eclectic alt-rock sound, it builds on the relationship of trust they have with producer Pete Robertson and engineer Tom Roach at Liverpool’s Coastal Studios, crafting anthemic rock songs where each member's playing personality can truly thrive. “He gets the coolest sound by getting the best out of us individually,” says Harry. “In doing that, he's really cultivated the collective Crawlers sound.”
True to their word, The Mess We Seem To Make takes on a whole range of challenging topics; trauma, sexual politics, mental health, the general goings on in a young person’s life. Across the record, feelings of loneliness, insecurity and toxic forms of dependence are held up to the light and examined in close context: “Hit It Again” hears Minto sing of “a childhood spent in locked bathrooms,” while “What I Know Is What I Love” gets open with old romantic habits: “There’s a part of me that needs to think for myself/but it feels so comfortable to feel that I know you so well.”
