Liverpool-based four-piece CRAWLERS share their new single ‘I Can’t Drive’. The track is the band’s debut release on Polydor Records since signing to the label in January.
Over the last year, CRAWLERS have built a reputation as one of the hottest and most exciting new bands in the UK. The band have gained themselves an impressive loyal following, with a string of single releases leading into their debut EP – released through Modern Sky/Lab Records in October – clocking up over 30 million combined streams. The EP was produced by Pete Robertson and mixed by Tom Roach at Coastal Studios.
‘I Can’t Drive’ is, the band say, about “the romanticism of mental illness and heartbreak and how the media portrays it compared to the raw reality”. Singer Holly Minto elaborates, “This situation is about how me and my sibling went through break ups of toxic relationships. My mum secured that we didn’t need anyone else by filing for divorce from my dad and we all went through it together.”
‘I Can’t Drive’ is another example of CRAWLERS bold, probing songwriting and showcases Holly’s distinctive, powerful voice. Alongside Holly on vocals & trumpet, CRAWLERS comprise Amy Woodall (lead guitar), Liv Kettle (bass guitar) and Harry Breen (drums).
Since their inception, CRAWLERS have been putting the work in, gigging across Merseyside, working on their songwriting and steadily building an impressive following on social media. Their debut EP – released through Modern Sky/Lab Records in October – has clocked up over 30 million combined streams and their first UK tour in March/April has completely sold out, with the quartet playing to over 1,000 fans in their hometown alone. With the release of ‘I Can’t Drive’ CRAWLERS are firmly on the path to becoming one of Britain’s most vital acts.
