She Said Limited Pink Marbled Vinyl LP

Starcrawler She Said Limited Pink Marbled Vinyl LP

Overview:

She Said’ is the third album from Los Angeles Rock band, Starcrawler. Fronted by Arrow de Wilde, guitarist Henri Cash, bassist Tim Franco, pedal steel/guitar player Bill Cash and drummer Seth Carolina, Starcrawler have morphed into a modern day take on LA legends X, with a sprinkle of The Go-Go’s, a smattering of The Distillers and some Rolling Stones sleaze thrown in for good measure. Though defiantly not a record obsessed with the pandemic, the constraints of lockdown mean that ‘She Said’ is Starcrawler’s most considered release to date. These are anthems made for blaring out of car speakers on warm summer night drives with the windows down and the volume up.

“We wanted to make songs on this record for everyone,” explains Henri. “For people that weren't just into punk rock.” Starcrawler might have broadened their scope, but they’ve definitely not watered down their sound. Known for his work on action and horror movie soundtracks, including the John Wick films, Dawn of the Dead, 300 and Halloweens I and II, the album was produced by industry titan Tyler Bates. Starcrawer met Tyler when he was drafted in to work with them on Goodtime Girl, a stand-alone single for DC’s Dark Nights:

Death Metal soundtrack, which the band appeared on alongside the likes of Idles, Mastodon and Chelsea Wolfe. “It just sounded so big,” says

Arrow of the resulting track. “It made me think we should do the whole of the new record like a movie soundtrack.”

When it comes to Starcrawler’s live shows, Arrow remains one of the most thrilling performers around, but things have changed there too. No longer will you find her spitting fake blood into the crowd. “It started to feel a little bit too routine after a while,” she explains of her infamous stage activity. “Even before the pandemic I’d only do it when the energy felt right, but once people started expecting it, it felt like a schtick.” But things certainly haven’t become tamer. You can still expect unbridled spontaneity when She Said hits the road. “It’s hard to control our shows,” admits Arrow. “And the crowd expects that energy, so they bring it with them too.” Starcrawler have been playing the new material live already, the new mix of dynamics offering them an excuse to go harder than ever before. “We played a show in San Diego recently and had to keep on stopping it,” grins Arrow. “It was just getting way too rowdy. It was awesome.”
