Like #1, these guys are also now defunct, and also managed to get out 2 discs. What is it about that soph->junior slump?  The second album is much stronger than the first, although I think the first is pretty good too - it just lacks some individuality on a per-song basis.

I first heard them covering a Lifter Puller track when I was trying to find Lifter Puller stuff - so I've included that cover (Mission Viejo) as a bonus 3rd track.

They are a part of the same scene that spawned The Replacements, Lifter Puller & Dillinger 5 - the Minneapolis/Twin Cities thing I guess.

It was a pain in the ass to find the cds.  Actually, it was a pain in the ass for me to find that the cds even existed. There are several versions of the Crush listed on allmusic, and the correct one doesn't even have a bio or the first CD listed in the discography.  I did find this interview with the band - that was the first thing I could find (and the only one for a while).  There are some other scattered mentions out there, but tough to find.

I really like the singer's voice for some reason.

He does have a new project: The Evening Rig.  Note to self: order their cd.
