Crush Luther’s musical landscape comprises a bit of Rickie Lee Jones, a dash of Lyle Lovett and a pinch of slick pop sensibility.
Signed to Darrin Pfeiffer’s High 4 Records (drummer for Goldfinger), the first single off their 2007 self titled release, City Girl, quickly shot to the number one spot on the MuchMoreMusic countdown. Their second single, The Cools, enjoyed heavy rotation on MuchMusic plus a number two spot on MuchTop10s.
However after the success of their debut album, the band hit a rough patch - three members left, leaving only Luther Mallory and Matt Leitch. “It was either find a way to rebuild, or become those people who live normal, respectable lives” says Mallory. Their choice was obvious.
