ABOUT Another Crush is an alternative rock band out of Hamilton with a strong 90s influence and super fresh vibe. They sound like nothing you’ve heard before, yet it feels like you’ve known them your whole life. Smooth vocals, chunky guitar riffs and heart rending tones. They are Heather Valley (vocals + guitar), Taylor Roberston (lead guitar), Dave Habza (bass) and Lindsay Bird (drums).

SOUND Their sound is fresh yet familiar, merging 90s influence with modern observations, velvet vocals, catchy melodies, soaring solos and driving rhythm. They really rock out, channeling wisftulness, vulnerability, and power all at once.

THEMES They explore timeless themes, including love, delusion, vulnerability, the blues, how well you can know another person, and wishing you could go back to a simpler time — if there was one.

INFLUENCES Their main influences are the Smashing Pumpkins, Haim, Dinosaur Jr, Julie Doiron, Black Sabbath and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS The band formed in Hamilton in May 2018. By July 2018 they released a lo-fi EP “The Iron Horse Demos”. In August 2018 they began playing shows across Ontario. In November 2018 they released a live video performance of their song “Here You Are” and got 6,000 Facebook views in a week.

In December 2018 they headlined the Indie 88 Nu Music Night at the Horseshoe Tavern, recorded a track live in front of a sold-out live audience at Revolution Recording and received a glowing letter of recommendation from legendary producer Ron Saint Germain.

In February 2019 they were selected to play the Hamilton stop of the Jim Beam Canadian Music Week Talent Search.

On May 3, 2019 they released their first single, “Empty Promises” to critical acclaim. The video was premiered on Live in Limbo, featured on CBC Radio’s “In the Key of C”, included in the Tinnitist Indie Roundup, the Mystic Sons (UK) New Music Discovery, The Punk Site (US), Hot Lunch, and many more. It was picked up by CBC, commercial radio (Y108), numerous campus stations, internet radio and is being added to Spotify playlists. It has 8000+ views on Facebook, and 1k+ on Youtube.

In May 2019, they tour Ontario in support of the single. On June 7 they open for Skye Wallace at Mills Hardware, June 14 they headline the Hamilton Arts Week rock kick-off show, and then hit a series of Ontario summer festivals.

They are recording their EP with Thomas McKay (Joydrop) at Exeter Sound Studios and working with Juno-Award winning engineer Vic Florencia and mastering engineer Phil Demestro at Lacquer Channel. Legendary producer Ron St. Germain has written a letter in support. They are actively seeking representation, booking widely, and planning a national tour.

WEIRD BUT TRUE Heather was a lawyer, Lindsay is a black belt in karate, Dave runs a Star Wars page & Taylor didn’t play lead guitar until Another Crush…
