Hayley and the Crushers have unveiled their cover of The Primitives' "Crash” today.
The glitter-punk cover arrives with an accompanying music video, which can be seen below. Vocalist Hayley Cain said this about the cover:
“We've always loved songs that feel like candy with a switchblade tucked inside. 'Crash’ has that perfect mix of innocence, adrenaline and danger,” she says. “We leaned into the hooks, turned up the guitars and gave it a fresh coat of sparkle. There's no way to improve upon the original, but that didn't stop us from throwing it into the Crushermobile for a spin around the block.”
Released in 1988, “Crash” became a global hit for The Primitives. The track was included in the Dumb & Dumber film soundtrack as "Crash (The '95 Mix)."
Hayley and the Crushers are currently working on their new studio album, which is slated for a 2027 release on Kitten Robot Records.
