Hayley And The Crushers
Modern Adult Kicks
Fans of garage punk, power pop, Cheap Trick, Dollyrots, Suzi Moon, Pretenders, Blondie - take note. One part pop, one part poison, all "poolside glitter punk," Hayley and the Crushers offer up a tsunami of bad girl power. Anointed "the naked embodiment of power pop punk" by New Wave icon Josie Cotton (who signed the band to her Kitten Robot Records in 2021), Modern Adult Kicks is their most ambitious and self-possessed album to date. Produced by legendary LA punk producer and ex-Screamer Paul Roessler (TSOL, Josie Cotton, Richie Ramone), the album conjures up the electricity of first-car freedom, the woes of suburban isolation and the lurid pleasures of Y2K chat rooms all wrapped in the warm glow of a late-night infomercial. The band, based in Detroit, is supporting the release with US tourdates through the end of 2022. Reybee PR will provide publicity push for the US, and Shine On promo and Radio Candy Media are promoting airplay on terrestrial, Internet, and Sirius radio. There are four videos out for tracks on this album.
