Australian Crawl

Australian Crawl is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Little River Band, John Lennon, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses and Mondo Rock. Those roots explain a lot about how Australian Crawl arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Noiseworks, The Angels, The Screaming Jets, Powderfinger and Divinyls, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Midnight Oil, The Seekers and Cold Chisel, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
