Crawl

About Me

Crawling out of the ashes of 'Charming Snakes', vocalist Stuart William McLean and guitarist Stephen Dean Wells have reunited to form Crawl as an outlet for their distinctive brand of music. Described by others as 'rock with a dark twist', the sound is an amalgamation of many influences.Stuart has played with a number of bands including Sister Europe, B-Movie (a short but pleasurable stay as guitarist) and Charming Snakes - which is where he met Stephen.Crawl have no wish to be genre pigeon-holed and despite acknowledging many influences on their work, they like to imagine that this particular recipe is all of their own making
