Crawlers have shared a brand new single – listen to the Liverpool band’s latest track, ‘I Don’t Want It’, below.The track comes ahead of performances at Reading & Leeds this weekend, and follows the release of recent single ‘Fuck Me (I Didn’t Know How To Say)’.Discussing the new song, vocalist Holly Minto said: “‘I Don’t Want It’ encompasses what it is like to be growing up in the current state of society and how it has affected the mental health of the modern generation from a 1st and 3rd perspective.“I have a lot of unhealthy habits that I am very self-aware of, however they don’t seem to change and seem to manifest into worse problems which I try to ignore, this isn’t really my own issue either, so many of us are aware of our own self-destructive behaviours but we ignore them for the sake of it being easier than recovery.
