Recorded by Ryan Adams on analog tape at his Pax-Am studio, the 10 songs on the album prove that yes, they ARE making rock and roll exciting again! Ryan has been tweeting up a storm about them saying things like This starcrawler record is gonna peel the paint off your brain! and Starcrawler are so fucking insanely good. Soon they will rule this galaxy. STARCRAWLER are a Los Angeles rock band who formed in 2015 when 18-year-old lead vocalist Arrow de Wilde first met guitarist Henri Cash at their Echo Park high school. Shortly thereafter they were joined by the rhythm section of Austin Smith (drums) and Tim Franco (bass). The foursome play with squalling riffs and thundering beats, and their incendiary live shows, fronted by de Wildes otherworldly magnetism, are truly captivating. Gigwise (UK) recently stated that Starcrawler are simply the most exciting - and best - band Rough Trade have signed in years." After signing to Rough Trade earlier this year, they quickly released their debut single Ants, which caught the ear of Elton John who played the track on his Beats 1 radio show. Soon after, they were on the cover of LA Weekly their hometown paper. The headline was With Fake Blood and Frenetic Songs, Starcrawler make rock feel dangerous again". In the article, Arrow describes that bands are boring nowadays and that theres no mystery. That helps explain a little bit of why their shows have become the stuff of legend. They also recently played LAs CalJam Festival, which is curated by Dave Grohl (Starcrawler was the first band he reached out to, and he raved about them the next day on KROQ.) Gerard Way is also a fan, describing them as a "mix of 70s theatricality and Stooges electricity. Arrow de Wilde is what would have happened if Ozzy Osbourne and Patti Smith had got together in 1975 and had a kid. Classic Rock Glam shock Los Angeles delinquents find hope for rock n roll. Mojo Step back, mopey indie rock singers, because a wild young lead vocalist named Arrow de Wilde has been tearing through the city, kicking up rock n roll dust with the force of the Tasmanian Devil. Los Angeles Times Starcrawler Channels the Most Iconic '90s Rock Groups in the BEST Way. Teen Vogue Tales of de Wildes onstage antics could fill a dissertation, as this performance poises equatable only to the likes of Iggy and the Stooges onstage debauchery, the PJ Harvey Trios lightning god rock, and the sexually charged cabaret no wave of Lydia Lunch. Ultimately, Starcrawler are simply the most exciting -and best - band Rough Trade have signed in years." Gigwise
