Econoline Crush is a Canadian rock band from Vancouver, 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.
There I'm on the edge
Of something more than what I knew
I've traded my burdens
For habits I can't cure
Gather up my enemies
Bring them to the feast
Dancing in the circle
As they crucify me
Falling down again... don't be late
It's my time of reckoning
Misery my friend
I'm spending all my time with you
Reflection in the mirror
Of someone I once knew
Take me to the gallery
And push me to my knees
Beggin for forgiveness
As the chorus judge me
Falling down again... don't be late
Its my time of reckoning
You've takin everything
Oh, you never get enough
Imtimidate, you violate, humiliate me
You just can't let it be
You're coming back for me
Push me down
Push me down
Hurt me again
You crawl in me, exist to feed
You watch me bleed
You're punishing
Consumed with greed
You empty me
No, No, No, No...
Dive it deeper, go on
Just push it in
Fill me with infection
Your affliction in me
Oh your sadistic need
You're coming back for me
Push me down
Push me down
Hurt me again
You crawl in me
Exist to feed
You watch me bleed
You're punishing
Consumed with greed
You empty me
No, No, No, No...
Smothered in this addiction
