New EP ‘Melody Maker’ due out 06/03 via KR Records, Debt Offensive Records, Erste Theke Tonträger, Flake Records. Summer North American Tour including dates w/ Alien Boy, LURK, Somerset Thrower, and more.

Power pop fans rejoice! Supercrush are gearing up for the release of their new EP, ‘Melody Maker’, due out June 3rd. The new five song offering will be available worldwide via the band’s own label KR Records in the U.S., Debt Offensive Records in Canada, Erste Theke Tonträger in Europe, and Flake Records in Japan. With ‘Melody Maker’ the Seattle-based group are in top form, delivering a dose of hook-laden alternative rock that lovingly embraces all things loud and catchy. And they’ve shared another taste with the EP’s second single ‘Perfect Smile’. The song follows lead single ‘Trophy’ and taps into the joyously fuzzed-out sound that Supercrush excels at.

Led by guitarist/vocalist Mark Palm, Supercrush are experts at blending distorted ’90s rock bombast with earnest lyricism and a seemingly endless well of catchiness. While the band’s sound might seem effortless, it belies the meticulous attention to detail that goes into Palm‘s songwriting. Recorded by Supercrush bassist Phil Jones and along with engineer Jackson Long, then mixed by Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr, The Pixies, Sebadoh, Wild Pink), ‘Melody Maker’ highlights Palm‘s ability to draw on influences from all across the rock & roll continuum, and then boil them down into their most immediately satisfying form. Supercrush have put in the work, all you have to do is turn it up! Supercrush have also announced a lengthy run of North American tour dates in support of ‘Melody Maker’, including shows with Alien Boy, LURK, Somerset Thrower, and more. See full itinerary below.
