Crawlers' The Mess We Seem To Make is a raw and unapologetic dive into the depths of trauma, sexual politics, mental health, and the tumultuous landscape of youth.
Crawlers long-awaited debut album, The Mess We Seem To Make, shakes up the alt-rock scene with its fearless exploration of complex themes. Lead singer Holly Minto describes the album as a labor of love, born from the band's commitment to honesty and vulnerability. "This album debut comes from us honing our craft, being vulnerable with each other, finding our sound and saying exactly what we wanted to," Minto explains. "I think that's a lot of what the Crawlers sound is, being honest with each other about how to get the correct emotions out - trying, failing, and pushing each other to keep playing and writing to the limits."
The Mess We Seem To Make doesn't shy away from difficult topics. Through 12 tracks, Crawlers confront feelings of loneliness, insecurity, and toxic dependence head-on, letting listeners in on the self-discovery and reflection. It might be more than just words and music, sometimes it feels like a mirror held up to the complexities of modern life.
Musically, Crawlers showcase their eclectic alt-rock sound with finesse, allowing each member's unique personality to shine. Drawing on their experience crafting anthemic rock songs, the band delivers a powerful and dynamic experience that refuses to be confined to any one genre or direction. Instead, they embrace the free-wheeling spirit that defined their 2022 mixtape, Loud Without Noise, and in doing so might just solidify their status as the UK's next big crossover alternative act.
Formed in 2018, Crawlers have spent years honing their sound on the live circuit, wowing audiences with electrifying performances. From intimate shows around Merseyside to sold-out headline tours across the UK, the band's infectious energy has earned them a dedicated following. And with appearances at Glastonbury and Download festivals under their belt, it's clear that Crawlers are ready to take the world by storm. So buckle up and dive into The Mess We Seem To Make, Crawlers is a band on the rise.
