Econoline Crush is a Canadian rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada formed in 1992. They have released four studio albums as well as singles such as "Wicked", "Home", "Surefire", "All That You Are", "Sparkle & Shine", "You Don't Know What It's Like", "Make It Right" and "Dirty".
After the release of their third album, Brand New History, the band was either on hiatus or disbanded, since vocalist Trevor Hurst started his own band, called Hurst. However, during 2007, the band reunited and started touring Canada with Alice Cooper. They released their latest album, Ignite, in 2008.
Econoline Crush was formed in 1992 when singer Trevor Hurst moved to Vancouver and answered an ad for a new band in a local newspaper. In 1993, the band signed a record deal with EMI Music Canada, after playing only 26 shows.
In 1994, the band released their first EP called Purge, with producer Dale Penner (Nickelback) at the helm, and the band started building a steady following. The album garnered them a nomination for a Juno Award in Canada. One year later, they followed it with the full-length album, Affliction. This album was produced by Rhys Fulber, and they followed it with an extensive Canadian tour. They also toured Europe three times, with the Young Gods, Die Krupps, and Waltari, culminating in an appearance at the POP KOMM Festival in Köln, Germany with Filter.
