While Crawlers are dreaming of massive production one day, right now they’ve perfected the important stuff: performing brilliantly and letting their personalities shine onstage…
Holly: “If you can do it without the big stage show then you’re already there. You see artists who don’t have to do much because they’ve got that charisma, and I want people to feel enthralled and part of our world without that. But then we can have the extra stuff to elevate that world.”
Amy: “The 1975 are a band I’m really inspired by – their show is just amazing. As musicians we always go to shows and analyse everything that’s going on, but when I saw them, or when we went to see Haim, I wasn’t even thinking about anything because the show was so amazing. Hopefully one day we can get a production that size!”
Holly: “Bring Me The Horizon as well. And My Chemical Romance – they were my everything in high school, and they’re so charismatic and they’ve having fun. When we first started I was so into having this ‘badass’ persona (laughs) and I was, like, moody! And my mum was like, ‘Why are you being like that?!’ And then I started having fun, and it made the audience have fun, and it made us have fun. And that’s who we are.”
Liv: “Like Holly said, we tried the whole different persona thing, and it just didn’t work for us. And even when we were trying to have these really moody personas, we’d catch each other’s eye and start giggling, and then go back to being moody again! It was like, ‘Why are we trying to be someone that we’re not?’ I think because we’ve all got such different influences, that kind of comes out when we play. When you see us all together, it makes sense and you get the whole picture.”
