Econoline Crush is a band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada formed in 1992.
"Brand New History" is the third full-length album. For this album, the band enlisted producers Bob Rock (Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Aerosmith) and DJ Swamp (Beck) to help them produce a more accessible blend of their trademark industrial rock and a more pop-oriented sound. "Brand New History" is a multidimensional outing that melds modern, classic, and alternative rock elements into a 12-song tour de force that at times is reminiscent of INXS, BTO, Nine Inch Nails, and the Cult (NIN's Chris Vrenna and the Cult's Billy Duffy guest here). Though Brand New History's musical salutes are palpable, Trevor Hurst delivers his vocals with a distinctive, soulful panache and there's a cohesiveness and originality to the band's soaring compositions, most notably the bold midtempo rocker "Make It Right." The vibrant, danceable "Flamethrower" contrasts nicely with the darkly aggressive "Trash" and, while the spooky syncopation of "By the Riverside" and lilting, Sugar Ray-ish "May I Go" are far from original, there's no denying their power. Programming, percussion, and the production savvy of Bob Rock (Metallica, the Cult) and John Travis (Kid Rock) add to the appeal of this excellent chapter in Econoline Crush's history book.
