Dumb Crush is raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically relentless. Handle with care—this band isn’t here to play nice. They’re here to detonate the monotony of modern life.
Comprised of DIY music veterans Owen Hooper, Liam Colbert, and Elliott Isaac, Dumb Crush is a force of seasoned performers who’ve played hundreds of shows across North America and Europe, racking up over a million streams collectively. Instead of following trends, they tore up the rulebook. Their singles “Witches In The Dark” and “Get Away”—recorded live in just one day (August 30, 2024)—are already making waves. “Witches” landed radio rotation on SiriusXM The Verge, CBC Radio, and Hockey Night in Canada (three weeks straight, reaching 1.27 million viewers per broadcast), while also securing spots on playlists curated by Line of Best Fit, DORK, and Exclaim! Magazine.
Meanwhile, “Get Away” arrived with a music video directed by Jack Harrison—the creative mind behind J. Cole’s Might Delete Later artwork and visuals for Kings of Leon, A24 Films, and BADBADNOTGOOD. Together, these tracks dive headfirst into the chaos of shoebox-condo capitalism, nostalgia overload, and the absurdity of modern existence.
Formed just this past June, Dumb Crush is already one of music’s best-kept secrets. Their live shows pulse with the same frenetic energy that fuels their songs, and “Get Away” is no exception. Its music video—a chaotic DIY heist featuring their tour van, instruments, and probably a few beers (responsibly consumed, of course)—perfectly captures the song’s mix of desperation and deadpan humor.
With their raw sound, wild energy, and absolute refusal to play by the rules, Dumb Crush isn’t just a band—they’re a battle cry against the grind. And they’re just getting started.
