I mean, we just put so much of our personal lives into each one of the songs that it feels hard choosing a single one. Then Henri answered, “ It’s usually music first on our side.” Henri and Arrow shared a laugh with each other before I asked the question I’m sure many musicians dread – do you have a favourite song on She Said? Henri at first answered with “ Oh no!” before continuing with “ I feel like it changes every day depending on what kind of mood I’m in. Arrow jumped in first with, “ Pretty different! I guess with me I don’t write the music, so I do lyrics first usually but for them, I feel like it changes, it’s always different.” Influences covered the conversation turned to the writing process of the record and whether it’s a lyrics then music kind of process, or if it’s music then lyrics. It was amazing getting to watch him recently. I mean, Nick Cave is also one of the best performers ever in our day and era. Then I love Jack White because he’s our only guitar rock idol of the 2000s kinda which is cool. I got leather pants when I was in the third grade and I wore them to school and everybody was like what the fuck is wrong with this kid and I threw them away. “ I mean a lot of people!” He answers with a smile, with a giggle thrown in by Arrow before he continued, “ The Cramps were a big one for me growing up, I loved Lux Interior. Starcrawler’s Arrow De Wilde channelling her best Bowie! Photo: put the question to Arrow first before asking Henri about his influences. He was in charge of his own persona which I think is cool.” He’s an amazing performer and his style, it was all him which I think is really cool. I mean, I’m a huge Bowie fan, of the music but I don’t know if our music really sounds like Bowie, you know? But he’s a huge inspiration for me. Would you say that Bowie is one of your biggest influences then? “ Yeah, definitely more performance-wise. I mean it’s really just evolvement I guess, but it feels like, kind of a new thing for me.” “ We’ve always had the same colour scheme, and the live show now is a little different, we added a new member and like a fifth member, and it’s just a new era in my performance, you know? I’m trying to do my (David) Bowie thing, like, different characters. I feel pressure along with it.” Curious at Arrow’s choice of words I asked what she meant by a “ New Era” of the band: We feel really proud of it, and it’s really scary at the same time.”Īrrow also jumped back in here and added, “ It’s also a new era of the band, so it’s like there’s kind of pressure.
“Yeah, for sure, yeah” responds Arrow with a smile and a hint of nervous laughter, before Henri jumps in, “It’s weird because we’ve held onto this one for so long, like it’s been done for a bit, we got the longest to work on it. Arrow and Henri shared the sentiment of excitement, with Henri adding “ Excited, nervous, all the feelings!” She Said is Starcrawler’s third record, but their label debut after their recent signing with Big Machine Records and I asked if they were more nervous for this record to come out than their previous releases: I was lucky enough to grab a chat with not only vocalist Arrow De Wilde but also guitarist Henri Cash to chat about the record, nightmares, SpongeBob and heaps more.Īfter a quick discussion about me being from the future (because of the time difference between LA and Australia), I first asked if they were excited for the release of She Said. She Said by LA’s own Starcrawler is one of those great records, and you can check out our review HERE. 2022 is always going to be remembered as the year that things started to get back to normal post-COVID-19, the year live music made a comeback and the year that some brilliant albums were released.
