Podcast #091 - Speedrunning, Nuzlocke Nostalgia & How Video Game Music Influences The Writing Process With Crawlers

Podcast #091 - Speedrunning, Nuzlocke Nostalgia & How Video Game Music Influences The Writing Process With Crawlers

Today we're joined by Merseyside's very own, Crawlers, an incredible band that you will no doubt have seen playing sold-out shows and festivals all across the world, and whose music has captured the hearts and minds of a generation.


While you might already know that they're signed to Polydor Records and no strangers to sharing stages with bands like My Chemical Romance and Jane's Addiction, it might come as a surprise as to how much Retro Gaming has played an important part in their lives growing up, and how it continues to provide inspiration both on and off the tour bus.


I sat down with Holly, Liv, and Harry to talk about all things Zelda, speedrunning classic Resident Evil games, taking Pokémon Nuzlocking rules to the next level, how video game music influences the writing process, and much more.
