About the Artist

Creeper, hailing from Southampton, have carved out a distinctive niche in the UK music scene since their formation. Fronted by the enigmatic Will Gould, the band is renowned for their theatricality, drawing inspiration from glam rock, punk, horror films, and gothic literature. Their music is a potent concoction of anthemic choruses, driving riffs, and evocative storytelling, often centred around recurring narrative concepts and characters that weave through their albums. They've built a dedicated cult following, affectionately known as the 'Nihilistic New Romantics', who embrace the band's elaborate lore and visually striking stage presence. Albums like 'Eternity, in Your Arms' and 'Sex, Death & The Infinite Sadness' have garnered critical acclaim and showcased their evolution from a punk-rock outfit to a fully-fledged rock opera ensemble. Their live shows are legendary, transforming venues into stages for their dramatic narratives, complete with costume changes, elaborate props, and Gould's captivating performance.
