Audiocrush

Audiocrush were a band from Santa Cruz, formed in 2000 and active for what looks like a couple years after. Their dual male\female vocals and big choruses make them seem like prime candidates to be a late-period 90s emo pop band—especially when you hear the chorus of the first song on the album—but overall their sound is actually much more post-hardcore and midwest emo than anything approaching pop punk. They sound kind of like Junk-era Jejune or Slow Fore, very Texas Is The Reason-inspired crunchy post-hardcore leavened with some midwest emo twinkles. Case in point is "Evil State," an excellent 90s-style midwest emo song even if it arrived at the very end of the second wave. The band's female vocalist was also active in Farewell To Youth.

The band's only release is the 2001 EP So You Call These Flowers.
