Industrial Alternative-Rock troop Econoline Crush formed in 1992 in Vancouver,
CANADA, originally comprised of lead singer Trevor Hurst, guitarists Robbie
Morfitt and Hack, bassist Daniel Yaremko and drummer Gregg Leask.
The quintet made its recording debut in 1994 with a 6-track EP entitled
"Purge".
Econoline Crush dropped their sophomore outing, "Affliction",
one year later for EMI Canada as well as Nettwerk Records in the United
States.
The group's second full-length disc, "The Devil You Know", arrived
two years later; as the band spent an increasing amount of time on tour
in their native Canada, U.S. and Europe, the album greatly enlarged their
audiences, "Surefire" hit #18 on the Billboard's Mainstream
Rock Tracks, "Home" also entered the top 40 of the Active Rock
chart and the final single, "All That You Are", was played on
both alternative and album U.S. Rock stations reaching #38 on The Modern
Rock chart and the #18 slot on The Mainstream Rock Tracks.
In May 2001, the group recorded in Los Angeles "Brand New History",
the 12-song set peaked at #17 on the Top Canadian Albums chart and spawned
two mid-sized hits in the Billboard's Mainstream Rock top 30 "Make
It Right" and "You Don't Know What It's Like".
It's been almost 16 years since Econoline Crush formed and almost seven
since their last album, but the Trevor Hurst-fronted group reformed with
guitarist Dave Hesse, bassist Mark Gomulinski and drummer Jay Benison,
for a couple of tours in mid-2007 and recorded enough new material to
release an album. "Ignite" was released in January 2008 through
the Fontana North-distributed Fatt Farmer label, making this the first
time the band have gone the independent route; lead single, "Dirty",
is already being played on Canadian Rock radio stations.
