UK Band Crawlers Debut “I Don’t Want It”

UK Quartet Crawlers have released new single “I Don’t Want It.” The track, is the group’s third release on Interscope Records , “I Don’t Want It” reflects on relationships, body image and the uncertainty of life in your early twenties.
Singer Holly Minto elaborates. “‘I Don’t Want It’ encompasses what it is like to be growing up in the current state of society and how it has affected the mental health of the modern generation from a 1st and 3rd perspective. I have a lot of unhealthy habits that I am very self-aware of, however they don’t seem to change and seem to manifest into worse problems which I try to ignore, this isn’t really my own issue either, so many of us are aware of our own self-destructive behaviours but we ignore them for the sake of it being easier than recovery. I think the song actually took fruition when my therapist said “you’re very self-aware, aren’t you?”. It’s very much a curse that we all, especially gen Z share. Maybe because self-deprecation has become such a normalised thing, which I hate but I can’t help but feed into. Writing it was a good way of me getting out a lot of behaviours I want to change about myself as well as critiquing other behaviours that society tends to normalise while growing up in your teens and early 20s. As soon as Amy sent me the riff I instantly knew I wanted to get these particular feelings out and create a song with the guys that sounds like the music I am listening to, especially when I am engaging in the behaviours mentioned in the lyrics, which has always been indie with a killer riff and a fat hook – kinda full circle in a way.”
Tthe band’s knack of injecting personal tales into their universal singalongs connecting on a mass scale. Using their status is of vital importance to what Crawlers are about. “It’s really hard to find a safe space – especially for young people, queer people, and other misrepresented or underrepresented groups – and being able to do that with our platform is something we’re looking forward to exploring and breaking boundaries with,” they say.
After supporting My Chemical Romance in May and embarking on a headline tour in North America in June, CRAWLERS will head out on a nationwide UK tour in the autumn that includes a date at London’s Scala on November 2nd. The band is comprised of Holly Minto, Amy Woodall, Liv Kettle, and Harry Breen.
