Starcrawler

Punk rockers Starcrawler formed in 2015 in Los Angeles, California and quickly formed a sound and attitude that placed them somewhere between the punk/hard rock of fellow L.A. natives the Runaways and the shock tactics of legendary metal band Black Sabbath. With crunchy guitars, melodies that boast a bit of glam-influenced swagger (even when they're in a minor key), and a heavy rhythmic stomp, Starcrawler established their raunchy sonic template on their self-titled 2018 debut album, and upped the ante on 2019's Devour You, which sounded bigger and more aggressive while also boasting a glossier sound. The band expanded from four to five members with 2022's She Said, which boasted a tighter sound and hookier melodies.
