As one of the most buzzworthy indie pop rock bands of 2008, Los Angeles-based 2nd Day Crush brings an original twist to the all-too-typical rock sound of today. At a time when pop rock bands are a dime a dozen in the indie music scene, few manage to deliver solid music with as much verve, style and aptitude as these guys combine. The band delivers an aural bang for the buck, and by doing so, they have garnered a substantial following, both locally and via Myspace, leading to the recent release of a highly-anticipated full-length debut album.
It all started when singer/songwriter Chris Drizen and bassist Rick Barrio Dill met at an exclusive CD release party in the Hollywood Hills. The two discussed their passion for music and hit it off immediately. Although they both had completely different musical interests, they realized it was an advantage and decided to start a band together that very night.

They had a singer and a bassist-- the next logical step was to hold auditions for a guitarist. Listening to musician after musicianâ no one seemed to have the total package: looks, talent and originality. They were about to give up hope just as Rami Jrade walked through the door. Even before he played a single note on his guitar, Chris and Rick instantly knew Rami was the right fit. During their initial conversation, Rami mentioned that his roommate, George Lind, was a brilliant drummer, and just a few hours later, George joined the band as well. 2nd Day Crush was officially formed that afternoon.

Their hard work paid off, but the process was a difficult journey. Over time, they worked with various producers, generated interest from independent labels, and eventually inked a label deal. The band and label did not see eye to eye creatively, however, so the gentlemen decided to take destiny into their own hands. Since Rick was a skilled producer, he stepped up to the plate and produced the bandâs full-length record. Just prior to recording, Chris received a serendipitous phone call. The Mirrors, a popular local band, had recently broken up and their lead guitarist, Jeremy Weinberg, was looking for a new band to join. Chris was ecstatic-- they snatched Jeremy up immediately and completed their dynamic fivesome.

With members finally in place, 2nd Day Crush began production on âFrom the Nights You Lost Your Voice.â The collaboration of prominent mixer, Mike Creswell (No Doubt, Third Eye Blind, Blackalicious), delivers a polished work that is brilliant in its conception yet brought to fruition with a unique flavor. Debut albums often suffer from rushed, weak material, but that was not an issue with this band. As they recorded, the genre-jumping album unfolded as a perfect blend of indie pop and rock. In fact, one of the highlights is the collaboration with Seth Trotter from renowned band, The Higher, on the song âI Always.â Chris says, âI was thrilled to work with Seth on the track⦠heâs a gifted singer and I knew his vibe would make the song really pop⦠We were all honored to have him be a part of our record.â

âFrom the Nights You Lost Your Voiceâ is a project that goes above and beyond most pop rock endeavors. With two tracks that are politically-fueled, the band has taken the opportunity to voice their opinions in a clever, engaging manner. These five gentlemen have created a sound that everyone is starving for-- music that rocks with powerful pop vocals reminiscent of legendary David Bowie, catchy guitar licks, rolling rhythms and emotionally evocative lyrics.

2nd Day Crush is undeniably more than meets the eye. From their compassionate qualities via their charitable efforts to their hilarious personalities on and off the stage, this band is steadily climbing the ladder to success.
