Q MagazineJan 17, 2018If her band's 28-minute-long debut album doesn't quite possess that same ferel delinquency [as the live shows], it still has teeth that bite. [Feb 2018, p.116]

Mar 7, 2018They’re not world beaters yet, but Starcrawler’s creepy appeal shouldn’t be underestimated.
-
Feb 2, 2018There's nothing truly radical about the collection, but it is gratifying riff-based rock, and in an industry littered with sycophants, Starcrawler's brand of exuberant noise is refreshing. The future may be bright for these young guns.

Jan 17, 2018The band’s debut for respected imprint Rough Trade--which has served as home to bands including the Raincoats, the Smiths, Warpaint and dozens more--features short, beefy rock songs that run just long enough to make the point.

UncutJan 17, 2018The band's self-titled debut may inevitably lack the electricity of the live shows, but with the abundance of trashy thrills, "I Love LA" and "Let Her Be" still demonstrate the potency of Sytarcrawler's au courant mash-up of Raw Power-era stooges, Sunset Strip glam-metal and Nirvana at their hookiest. [Feb 2018, p.35]

Jan 17, 2018This debut album is awash in buzzsaw guitar riffs and splashy cymbals, while the wild-child vocals of Arrow De Wilde channel the jaded disdain of Courtney Love (minus the rage), occasionally peaking in a Lene Lovish-like squawk. It’s a formula which works best on “Love’s Gone Again”, which has something of the elemental primitivism of Pink Flag-era Wire as it treats perverse carnal urges to a dose of distortion.
