Rock General

Crush is a Dutch rockband centered around singer/guitariste Iris van der Lee. We play short, melodic rocksongs.

Band/artist history

In 1997 a bunch of like-minded souls decide to start playing music together. First by the name Crush and Blast, they start playing covers by, amongst others, K's Choice, The Babys, Skunk Anansie and The Pixies. After a while they drop the last part of the name, when they choose a heavier, melodic rock-sound. They start playing their own songs and the covers are dropped entirely.

Fronted by the lascivious Iris van der Lee, a crossover between Joan Jett and Nena, whose energetic guitar playing and vocal style pushes the rest of the band forward. The band smoothly moves between fast and heavy punk-rock songs and softer, more pensive mid-tempo rock songs. What distinct the band from others are the catchy, captivating melodic songs that automatically invites the audience to move.

Fast forward to 2005. With the addition of bass guitarist Iwan Plomp and lead guitarist Arthur Rikkelman, they finally achieve their current sound and record their third (unreleased) demo-cd, Mindfucker. Crush is a dynamic, melodic rock band that provides an evening's worth of instantly recognisable up tempo songs, and some slower ones as well.
