Hayley and the Crushers - Click and Act Now! (Official)

Click and Act Now by Hayley and the Crushers out now via Kitten Robot Records! Helmed by husband-and-wife team guitarist Hayley Crusher Cain and bass player Dr. Cain ESQ, the California power trio is guided by sonic contradiction: 60s girl group sensibilities meet grinding rock n roll heat; shimmering radio-ready melodies. A peek inside the Cains’ record collection reveals the breadth of the band’s musical maximalism: classic country greats like Waylon Jennings mingle with 60s exotica, ABBA, crust, and—a shared favorite of the couple—1990s Bay Area punk. “I remember first hearing the sound of the East Bay at age 16 while crushing a 12-pack of Olympia under a bridge on the Crystal river in rural Colorado where I grew up,” Dr. Cain said. “My buddy Norton had mail-ordered a cassette of Operation Ivy from Maximum Rock n Roll and we cranked it up on a beat up old blaster he always carried around with him. We sat there, drank beer and listened to it on repeat for the day. ’Hooked’ is a great way to put it.” Wit
