Hey! Thanks for listening. This is the first finished track from my debut EP. I'm going to be leaving it up till the EP launch gig near the end of 2014. You can't download it or buy it, but it's free to listen to till then. This song is about letting go of regrets and moving on. I hope you love listening to it as much as I have loved creating it.

I need to Let it Go

This song is dedicated to the loser. I wanted to give a voice to the outcast. For every winner there is someone like me… know that you are made for a purpose and loved too.

Benedition Of A Loser

This track is about real love. The kind of love that's about choosing to love even when things aren't clean or easy. 

Keep on Loving on You

This is the latest track from my upcoming EP "Phoenix Burning" launching on June 13th 2015. It's about fear and doubt but ultimately pressing on and not looking back. To buy an early copy go here: www.ajcrawshawmusic.com

My Empyre

Here is a song we wrote for Mental Health Awareness Week in NZ. From someone who has been there…

I’m hoping it will reach someone and help. It’s about how life is for the living even if you can’t see it in the moment.

Life's For The Living - Single

NZ outfit, The AJ Crawshaw Band, have released their grab them by the earholes, track “The Lightning” this summer. It’s about living life and connecting with what makes you feel alive. 

“So often we hold ourselves back or restrain ourselves to do what we think is our duty,” front man AJ Crawshaw explains “this song is exploring the question: what if we just lived the life we were made for? Talk to the girl, do that crazy idea, make that art, make that music, be all we can be.”

Electric guitars from Cam Sutton and AJ tear through this track, driven along by the perfect duo of Simon Laracy’s sharp bass runs and Dan Watson’s high-octane drums. The song sounds like lightning and when it hits the second bridge it really lifts up a gear, sonically bashing out a rock bands version of a dance beat, with AJ’s powerful vocals daring the listener to move.

“A friend asked me recently, ‘How do you know if you are doing what you are meant to be doing with your life? Is it when life is hard and all odds are against you? Or when there is a grace and ease to everything?’ For me it’s whether or not you feel alive doing it. Easy or hard has nothing to do with it. How connected you are to it, is everything."

The AJ Crawshaw Band is meant to be writing these kind of smashing rock songs.

The Long Road

AJ is an honest songwriter. His songs are set with themes that are always honest, often brutal, but always expressing an element of hope.
