Crush is at least four different bands:
1) Crush were formed in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1996 and featured Donna Air and Jayni Hoy (both then teenage actresses in BBC TV’s ‘Byker Grove’). They released two singles in the UK, Jellyhead and luv’d up, but disappointing sales led to their debut album Teenage Kicks (which included a cover of
We Got The Beat) being shelved. Jayni Hoy then quit the duo and a replacement, Luciana Caporaso, was drafted in. This line up released a remixed version of the debut album, now called Crush , in the USA on Robins Records, in 1997. Much more dance/europop orientated than the indie-pop of previous singles, this album retains the original vocals from Jayni on 8 of the 12 tracks, including several compositions by Saint Etienne vocalist Sarah Cracknell (rumour has it that the band were managed by her mum!). After the band split, Air moved into TV presenting, whilst Caporaso went on to front Shooter and electro-rock act Portobella.
2) Previously known as Pleasurehead, Crush was a band on Atlantic Records from 1991 to 1993 featuring singer-songwriter Michael Bramon, guitarist-songwriter John Valentine Carruthers (formerly of Siouxsie and the Banshees - where he had replaced Robert Smith who had left to form The Cure), and drummer-songwriter Paul Ferguson (formerly of Killing Joke-which he co-founded).
3) Hailing from Newfoundland and most recently based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Crush comprise Paul Lamb and Cory Tetford. Other members have included Santiago Serna, Scott MacFarlane and Brian Talbot. They have released two albums, 2002’s Here and 2003’s Face in the Crowd.
