Bio - At a time when suddenly tattoos and loud guitars are back in vogue, no one does this better than Crush.
Crush draw influences from bands such as AC/DC, Aerosmith, and the Stones but are certainly not the sterio typical rock band that you would expect.

With the song writing partnership of Craig Hopkins and Tony Wright, going from strength to strength, the band just get better and better with every show, and every time new material comes out

Their live shows are certainly when the band come into their own, no show is ever the same, and no -one ever goes home disapointed!!
With the driving bass of Craig and the rock steady drumming of Danny, you will find it impossible to stand still, and with the growling guitars from Tony and Mark , you have some of the best riffs and lead playing heard in a long time, then finish it all off with the powerful, growling vocals of Jim and you have a live band that no - one can even come close to at the moment.

Crush's determination to deliver the best every time also shows in their studio work with a new 6 track ep just finished the band are " up with the best" as they say, and with one of the tracks ' Gotta have it ' now featuring on Chromium Records latest release.

'Gotta have it' and ' Do what you do' were in the top 10 of the Extra play charts for over 10 weeks.

Also 'shake shake shake' recieving airplay on Dearne FM!!

In the summer of August 2004 Crush set out on their first tour of the USA playing venues around Cleveland Ohio, and after recieving such a good reception they returned in January 2005, and took the USA by storm again, and have many enquiries to when their next return will be.

In this year alone Crush have supported ,Sebastian Back, Faster Pussycat , the Brides of Destruciton, and the GA*GA*S.

Crush are currently steam rollering there way around the UK and are creating a large buzz on the rock circuit, catch them while you can!!!

For all those who said rock is dead, they were wrong, it was just waiting for CRUSH to bring it back to life!!!!
