Dumb Crush releases Get Away

Dumb Crush is raw, unfiltered, and absolutely relentless. Handle with care. This band isn’t here to play nice—they’re here to blow up the mundane grind of 21st-century life. Made up of DIY music veterans Owen Hooper, Liam Colbert, and Elliott Isaac, Dumb Crush is a united front of seasoned performers who’ve played hundreds of shows across North America and Europe and amassed over a million streams collectively. Instead of following cookie-cutter trends, they flipped the script: their singles “Witches In The Dark” and “Get Away” were recorded live in one day (August 30th, 2024) and have already made waves. “Witches” hit radio rotation on SiriusXM The Verge, CBC Radio, and Hockey Night in Canada (three weeks straight, with 1.27 million viewers per broadcast) while also landing spots on playlists curated by Line of Best Fit, DORK, and Exclaim! Magazine. Meanwhile, “Get Away” dropped with a music video directed by Jack Harrison, the creative powerhouse behind J. Cole’s Might Delete Later artwork and visuals for Kings of Leon, A24 Films, and BADBADNOTGOOD. Together, these songs dive headfirst into the chaos of shoebox-condo capitalism, nostalgia overload, and the absurdities of modern life.

With chaotic energy and a knack for flipping the script, Dumb Crush is quickly becoming one of music’s best-kept secrets. Formed just this past June, the band’s live performances capture the frenetic spirit of their songs, and “Get Away” is no exception. Its music video—a hilarious DIY heist featuring their tour van, instruments, and probably some beers (responsibly consumed, of course)—is the perfect match for a song that’s part desperate plea, part shrug at the madness of city life. Whether it’s their raw sound, wild energy, or refusal to play by the rules, Dumb Crush is a battle cry against the monotony of the modern grind—and they’re just getting started.
