"The Arcade" Hyper Crush

There's nothing better than electro-pop and hip hop lyrics and the sassy voice of Holly Valentine and her boy toys Donny Fontaine and Preston Moronie.  These three members form the time travel group Hyper Crush who reside in LA who tell their tales through high tempo beats and make you want to dance.


They started out in 2006 with Fontaine and Moronie as the ıel-Airs, but found they needed to change up their style and sought out Valentine.  Like most underground bands, they got their break on MySpace and began playing around LA and the rest of California.  They've sampled lots of ideas from the 1980's and early 1990's, like Nintendo's games Duck Hunt and The Legend of Zelda.


Hyper Crush released their album The Arcade in May 2008 which contains 13 tracks of electro power.  In November 2008 they signed with Universal Motown and is taking their time in releasing their second album.  "Making new music is important to us and we want to give that to our fans," Valentine stated.

You want to dance and bob your head to the sounds of modern 80's, this album is for you.  I've listened to this band for a few years now and think they're on the rise to take over with neon sunglasses and party anthems.  "The Arcade" single starts with Duck Hunt and ends in Zelda.  Who can seriously get away with saying "Bouncing like Donkey Kong I'm going Ape Shit!"  None other than Hyper Crush.

Some other great tracks include "Sex and Drugs" and "Candy Store."  Let the beats speak for themselves.
