CRUSH XO
Crush XO – A High-Voltage Rock Experience
Crush XO is Kelowna’s newest alt-rock powerhouse, seamlessly blending elements of classic rock, modern alternative, and high-energy stadium anthems into one explosive sound. But don’t be fooled by the “new” label—this band is stacked with seasoned pros who have spent years sharpening their craft in different cities, bands, and genres. When fate brought these four musical forces together for an impromptu jam, something electric sparked. The chemistry was undeniable, and just like that, Crush XO was born.
Now, the buzz is real. Their four brand-new singles blew away the judges, securing them a coveted spot at Rock the Lake 2025. These tracks, set to release this summer, showcase the band’s raw energy, musical depth, and knack for crafting songs that hit you right in the soul. And with the new single, “Sold My Soul,” and "Pour Me a Little More" currently available on Spotify, Crush XO is not just making music—they’re making a movement.
What’s Next?
The band is in full-on creation mode, writing new music and preparing to light up the stage at Rock the Lake 2025. With their upcoming releases and an unforgettable live show in the works, Crush XO isn’t just a band to watch—they’re a band you won’t be able to ignore.
Get ready. This is just the beginning.
