Manchester newcomers cruush have dropped their fuzzy new single ‘Rupert Giles’

Manchester-based band cruush have released their latest single, ‘Rupert Giles’, under the Heist or Hit.

The band, consisting of Amber Warren, Arthur Boyd, Fotis Kalantzis, and Bruno Evans, have also announced a special double-A vinyl release set for early 2026.

Of the new song, they shae: “On a writing retreat to Wales we took a sunrise hike up Penygader. We listened to nothing but Neil Young, Brownhorse, and the Van Halen song ‘Panama’. We were sitting by this lake at 6am, with the sun rising, listening to it and all felt well. We knew we had a great song written, we were all sleep deprived and sweaty, the stars were aligning.”
