Nightcrawlers is a house music project, assembled by producer, DJ and vocalist John Reid (born 6 September 1973) from Easterhouse, Scotland.
Their debut single "Living Inside a Dread" was not successful, but the 1993 dance song "Push the Feeling On" fared much better. In its original form the song reached #7 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart, and briefly crossed over to pop radio, peaking at #80 on the Billboard Hot 100, spending fifteen weeks on that chart. It also reached #22 in the UK Singles Chart in October 1994, & number 3 when re-issued the following March, becoming Reid's biggest hit in his homeland. In 2004, thanks to new remixes of the track, it re-entered the U.S. Dance chart, this time reaching #1. Other successful singles by The Nightcrawlers were: "Surrender Your Love" (UK #7), "Don't Let The Feeling Go" (UK #13), "Let's Push It" (UK #23) & "Should I Ever (Fall in Love)" (UK #34). Reid is a successful songwriter in his own right, having co-written a UK chart-topping single for Westlife ("Unbreakable"), and also songs for Tina Turner and Rod Stewart. He is a friend of Simon Cowell, and he co-wrote the Kelly Clarkson and Leona Lewis hit "A Moment Like This". He has worked as a songwriter for the spanish singer Mónica Naranjo, with songs including "No Voy A Llorar", "If You Leave Me Now" and " Hotline", he also worked with Ian Levine, in "Whenever You Need Someone" (Bad Boys Inc), and tracks for Eternal, Gemini and Optimystic.
