About cruush

cruush is a Manchester-based four-piece band known for their blend of shoegaze and dream pop, characterized by "grit-your-teeth distortion with a disarming sweetness" and a "corrosive, half-melted" sound. Vocalist Amber Warren describes their music as possessing "the sweet elements of having a crush on someone but the screeching of an industrial car crusher". The band, comprising Amber Warren, Arthur Boyd, Fotis Kalantzis, and Charlie Marriott, recently released their sophomore EP, "Nice Things Now, All The Time," in April 2024. This EP includes the single "Headspace," which was released in January 2024. They also released the single "Cotton Wool" in March 2024 and "As She Grows" in 2023. Having signed with Heist or Hit, cruush has garnered attention from BBC Radio 6 and Radio X and has supported acts like The Lounge Society, BDRMM, and NewDad. They are currently scheduled for live performances in the UK in September, October, and December 2025.
