ARROW DE WILDE
There’s a misconception that rock ’n’ roll criticism is sexy and badass and mysterious, but CREEM can definitively argue the contrary—unless our XXXL Rush tee and basketball shorts count as irresistible. But hey, everybody’s got their type, and thankfully some people dig on the brilliantly messy.

ARROW DE WILDE
THE CREEM DREEM
There’s a misconception that rock ’n’ roll criticism is sexy and badass and mysterious, but CREEM can definitively argue the contrary—unless our XXXL Rush tee and basketball shorts count as irresistible. But hey, everybody’s got their type, and thankfully some people dig on the brilliantly messy.
You know who’s everyone’s type? Arrow de Wilde. And here she is slithering and slinking around, tossing her hair with some CREEM bubbly, driving all the young boys (and girls) into a life of deviance. For the unfamiliar, this fabulous disaster/rock queen rolled into one (very) explosive package fronts L.A. faves Starcrawler— whose 2022 LP She Said kicked in our cabooses with big-time riffs juxtaposed against this one young woman’s vocals. Don’t worry, she can hold her own and is beloved, despite the fact that the latest single, 2024’s “Learn to Say Goodbye,” plays like a big tease for a release that no one knows shit about. That’s fine, Arrow—go ahead and be sexy AND badass AND mysterious. We ain’t jealous.
