Creeper: Life imitating art

Once again Creeper’s Will Gould is in disbelief. Since the start of last year, the band has been steadily getting bigger and bigger. Through relentless touring and a trio of theatrical, heart-driven EPs, Creeper have fast become the darlings of the punk world and they’re now on the cusp of spilling over. “It’s getting beyond what we could have ever imagine it to be. I’ve been really taken aback, all of us have been.”

Through their music, Creeper have quickly established a sense of community. “Having a place to go that’s not your bedroom and having a place that you can feel at home was really important to me when I was younger. So, the ability to provide a show and an environment that’s safe for those kids to go to, I’m really proud of that accomplishment. I’m really glad people have allowed us to be that band for them.”

Beyond the shows though, the Creeper Cult still exists. “When we started with ‘The Callous Heart’ [the band’s second EP and the name of that logo that you’ve probably seen on the back of jackets and tattooed on skin], the idea was that it was an invented street gang and now, life is imitating art because they exist. People patch up, go to town and hang out in groups together. That’s so rad.”
