One Song You Need To Hear: Starcrawler - "Hollywood Ending"
Thank you, Little Steven's Coolest Songs in the World
One of the main reasons I have remained a Sirius/XM subscriber since 2005 (when it was just Sirius) is because of Little Steven’s Underground Garage channel (no. 21). Countless times I’ve discovered and loved bands and songs on this channel, many of those songs picked to be one of the coveted “Coolest Songs In The World.” “Hollywood Ending” by Starcrawler is yet another reason I’m thankful I still subscribe.
Starcrawler hail from Los Angeles and they’re one of those bands where as soon as I heard one chord I thought, “they have to be from L.A.” Their Spotify bio says they are “fully leaning into their own epic vision of a contemporary Hollywood Babylon, they’ve morphed into a modern take on LA legends X, with a sprinkle of The Go-Go’s a smattering of The Distillers and some Rolling Stones sleaze thrown in for good measure.” Add to that Hole (especially this song), a little Dramaram in their moodiness. And their look defintely says “Los Angeles.”
“Hollywood Ending” is from their 2019 album Devour You. They’ve got four albums in all, their newest, She Said, coming out last year. Definitely worth checking out.
