Manual Exposure #13 - CRAWLERS

Fresh from their sold out tour this month, CRAWLERS have just put the tickets on sale for their mammoth of a UK tour this October - hitting up venues such as Scala in London. We caught them for a few moments backstage at their double headline show at Camden Assembly as part of our special 35mm camera series Manual Exposure.

Since their inception, CRAWLERS have been putting the work in, gigging across Merseyside, working on their songwriting and steadily building an impressive following on social media. Their debut EP - released through Modern Sky/Lab Records in October – has clocked up over 40 million combined streams and their first UK tour in March/April has completely sold out, with the quartet playing to over 1,000 fans in their hometown alone.
