ANOTHER CRUSH headlines This Ain’t Hollywood with Dirty Rick and Hello Hopeless (Kitchener) on Thursday February 21!

This is going to be a night of catchy, vibey, MASSIVE rock music with three of the best up and coming indie bands in Ontario!

Hello Hopeless will open the night! They are a blistering three-piece post/pop punk band from Kitchener with intense guitar and bass, incredibly fast, poppin’ drums, soul shredding two part vocals and a slick stage show that’ll make you beg for one more song! Check them out here: https://hellohopeless.bandcamp.com

Dirty Rick is up next with their signature blues tinged rock n roll! This band has Hamilton roots and Toronto connections and packs the house at legendary venues like The Horseshoe Tavern! They are developing a rabid following in the steel city because their shows are SO FUN and their music is so catchy! So come see what all the fuss is about and find yourself singing OH NO – YEAH! Their EP Post-Candid is available on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/75Vx8ru0aCCsTVip34WBY8

ANOTHER CRUSH headlines the night! This female-fronted Hamilton-based alt rock band has been burning up the scene since they formed last year! They already headlined a packed indie night at The Horseshoe Tavern and recorded a track live before a sold-out audience at the Exeter Sound Studios Xmas Party at Revolution Recording in Toronto! They make massive alternative rock with vibey melodies, soaring guitars, driving drums and gorgeous vocals. Described as something between The Cranberries, Mazzy Star, Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins, they will break your heart and build you back up again. You don’t want to miss their intense performance! They’re currently recording an EP with Thomas McKay of Exeter Sound Studios (Joydrop) but you can check out their live performance of Here You Are on FB: https://www.facebook.com/anothercrushband/videos/another-crush-here-you-are/203171570562857/
