Colours are wild with this week's indie rock 3 in 1 ft. AutoCrush, Ed Gage, Hana Piranha. Listen to their exciting tracks here with us and make sure to follow!:
AutoCrush-Breathe
Remember the humming static of the radio of the 90s? AutoCrush has that energy and zeal, with their own take on joyous performances. The 90s energy might be misleading, for 1999 is when the band was formed. John O'Neill and Darren McCallister make up for the songwriting that forms narratives on human connection and the emotional overflow. Like a Petty song, it has the chorus you always want to sing with. Progressions are easygoing, like a breeze-they pass you by.

Look, there’s a good chance you’ve heard the AC/DC classic. What is this cover doing here? Getting much nastier than the original. Ed Gage brings an ensemble that does justice to the song, while everyone gets a chance under the spotlight. Steve Grimmett and John Gallagher bring the thunder that AC/DC charged for us so many decades ago. It is an experience of a song that shows you why people still find the thrill of classic rock. Tones are gnarly, rich in punch and almost metal in their execution. They don’t overdo the cover-just give enough respect to the band that made it all happen, for many:
Hana Piranha-Toxic
Might as well have two well done covers. If you liked the previous single, Hana Piranha does justice to Britney Spears 00s fever of Toxic. The moments are laid down thick, having a funky fling that just sticks. The original hook remains on strings, but the verse section pulls you in with a different, well, toxicity. This rock cover has all the novelty that the original brought-with Hana Maria kicking the gearbox away during the chorus. It is the kind of biting sharpness that the vocals of the original brought. Now, the rhythm matches that heat and carves a pit of despair and metal in the core of the Earth. It’s toxic, but more:
