Slow Crush are a Belgian shoegaze band.
History
Slow Crush was formed in 2017 in Leuven, Belgium, by vocalist/bassist Isa Holliday, guitarists Jelle Ronsmans and Jan Jouck, and drummer Steve Cammaerts. The band rose from the ashes of the doom metal outfit Hearserider, which split up in 2016 after its vocalist left the band. The band's debut EP, Ease, was released on 18 May 2017.
In March 2018, Slow Crush signed with Holy Roar Records. The band's debut album, Aurora, was released on 23 September 2018. In 2019, Jouck and Cammaerts both left the band due to personal commitments and health issues, respectively. Jeroen Jullet and Frederik Meeuwis replaced both members. In October 2019, Holy Roar released a deluxe edition of Ease.
In March 2020, Slow Crush released a 7" single featuring the songs "Reel" and "Pale Skin". In September 2020, Slow Crush severed ties with Holy Roar after the label's founder was accused of rape and sexual misconduct. In January 2021, the band signed with Church Road Records, who released their second album, Hush, on 22 October 2021.
