Starcrawler are kicking off a new chapter with “Kick Me,” the title track from their forthcoming fourth album. The Los Angeles band’s next full-length will be their first independent album. The single arrives with a new video directed by frontwoman Arrow de Wilde.
In a press release, Starcrawler’s team announced that Kick Me will be released March 26, 2027, with pre-orders and pre-saves now available. The 12-track album follows the band’s standalone single “On 2 U” and marks their first independently released full-length project.
Pre-save Kick Me below:
“The idea for the song came one night thinking back to when I was a little kid, hating school and being super obsessed with Elvis Presley and playing the tuba,” lead guitarist Henri Cash shares. “I was always getting into fights at school because I was the one weird freak that couldn’t relate to the rest of the other kids. We are all still weird freaks in our own ways, and that’s probably why we all get along so well.”
The new single is brought to life with a music video directed by front-woman Arrow de Wilde–a spin on the classic jocks vs. nerds trope coated in a certain chaos only Starcrawler knows how to make happen. True to themselves, the band vows not to take themselves too seriously, proving that having a good time with your closest friends is the secret to keeping the band inspired.
This is where Starcrawler’s ethos for its impending album lies. Punk rock has always been for the strange and off-putting, a declaration against the status quo with an unwavering belief in music that feels greater than yourself. Four records in, and Starcrawler continues to ingrain this essence into everything they do.

Regarding the album, Cash adds, “We played the same festival as Patti Smith a couple years back, and right when she was about to leave the catering tent, she came to our table and told us: ‘You know what Jimi Hendrix always told me? Let your freak flag fly.’ That moment always stuck with us, and I feel like that’s exactly what we’re doing with this album.”
Starcrawler are currently on tour supporting Sex Pistols during their U.S. run. These shows lead up to their Devil’s Night bash at The Regent on October 30th, with Violet Grohl and The Paranoyds kicking it all off. Known for their electrifying performances and fierce punk spirit, Starcrawler knows how to make your hair stand on end. Anyone who hasn’t heard Starcrawler before is leaving the show never forgetting what they saw.

About Starcrawler
Starcrawler is a rock band for a new generation. Best known for their explosive live shows, the 5-piece band consists of full-throttle frontwoman Arrow de Wilde, guitarist Henri Cash and brother Bill Cash on pedal steel/guitar, drummer Seth Carolina, and bassist Tim Franco. With three studio albums under their belts, their upward trajectory continues to roll full steam ahead. Fully leaning into their own epic vision of a contemporary Hollywood Babylon, they’ve morphed into a modern-day 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. Since their early days, Starcrawler have won the love of such legendary artists as Shirley Manson, Elton John, Iggy Pop, Jack White, Dave Grohl, and more all while opening for the likes of Jack White and My Chemical Romance, and previous support slots with luminaries such as Beck, Foo Fighters and Spoon, among others. Now embarking on a new ‘era’, Los Angeles’ most thrilling rock’n’roll collective are as raw and hungry as ever, but refined, refreshed and ready to take on whatever’s thrown at them.
