With the release of their debut album More To Life just a handful of days away, Manchester rising quartet Crushed By Waves are bringing fans one more taste of the album before the full album drops this Friday (March 22nd).
Arran, Andy, Dan and Tom have dropped the music video for the title track from More To Life; A synth flavoured rock anthem with one of the biggest choruses you are going to hear all year, it’s the perfect warm up for the full release of the album. The track More To Life carries an important message, as Crushed By Waves frontman Arran Prime explains:
“More to Life is about finally snapping out of our daily routine, and making the decision to change our lives before it’s too late. When you wake up and release you only have one life, how will you choose to spend it?”
Crushed By Waves debut album More To Life features ten tracks of anthemic, varied, modern rock, serving as a perfect way for the band to take themselves to the next level in 2024. The album’s hugely popular singles released so far (Won’t Get Out Alive, Nothing Left, Too Much To Ask and most recently You Know) have taken Crushed By Waves to many heights over the last twelve months, including appearances at huge festivals such as Download, Radar and Takedown.
Away from the already released tracks, More To Life is an album where almost every song could be a single in its own right. From Dangerous’ soaring chorus and huge breakdown to the arena worthy synth rock of the album’s title track, More To Life offers excellent variety but with a consistent sound across the album. To learn more about More To Life, here’s Crushed By Waves frontman Arran Prime:
“Our debut album ‘More To Life’ is a reflection of where we are at as a band. At the time of writing and producing this album we were experiencing so many things for the first time together. Our first time touring, our first manager, our first time playing major festival shows, and our first national radio play for our songs. ‘More To Life’ is the concept of rebirth. Have you ever felt destined to fail? Felt trapped in a day-to-day routine wishing for a better life? Well this was about taking control of our fate and breaking free of the limitations we put on ourselves. Now we are starting to learn what we are capable of, we will never settle for less or compromise again.
Despite all of our own self-doubts, we have achieved more than we ever thought possible. We are finding our place within this scene, and growing a loyal fanbase who seem to love what we are doing and supporting us on our path. We once had a mindset of thinking, ‘Who the fuck are Crushed By Waves?’. We had total imposter syndrome all the time. However, after the year we just had, we know exactly who the fuck Crushed By Waves are, and if you don’t, then you are missing out. This album is just the start for us boys – we hope you enjoy what we created.
Big love, Arran, Tom, Andy, Dan”
