In 2022 they signed to Polydor Records, and have released an EP Loud Without Noise under the record label which debuted in the UK album charts in November 2022.[3]
History
Crawlers was formed in 2018 by schoolmates Amy Woodall and Liv May, and Holly Minto, who May had met at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Drummer Harry Breen later joined and they began performing at small venues in Liverpool.[4] The band gained an internet following, especially on TikTok. Their song "Come Over Again" charted in the top 100 on the UK Singles Chart.[5] This led to the band being signed by Polydor Records in January 2022.[6] The band played two sold-out UK tours in April and November 2022, during which they played their largest show to date at the O2 Academy Liverpool.[7] In the same year the band performed at multiple UK festivals[which?] and opened for My Chemical Romance in May 2022 in Warrington.[8] On 17 January 2023, their song "So Tired" was featured on DC Doom Patrol.
