Not dead, waiting.

About Me

FOR BOOKING: MPR TOURING | MPR TOURING on MySpace

"Austin's Crawling With Kings engage on an intellectual and spirit-shaking level, penning enigmatic tunes spanning the alt-country and indie rock spectrums."
Lawrence Weekly

"...this record is a lovely collection of understated songs shorn of pretense and full of melancholy soul."
Pop Culture Press

"To call Crawling With Kings minimalistic is an understatement. Listeners will be left amazed that the band can say so much with so little."
Performing Songwriter

"This is like the album I always hoped Golden Smog would make, but never did."
Cool Noise UK

"Depression rock currently seems to be an art in and of itself, and Crawling With Kings have created quite the masterpiece of woe."
Mish Mash Music
