Econoline Crush is a
canadian industrial rock band. Led by
vocalist and
lyricist Trevor Hurst the band is also comprised of
Robbie Morfitt,
Ziggy Sigmund,
Tom Christiansen(not tchrist), and
Niko Quintal.
The
Affliction album is a very
industrial work in comparison to the closer to
pop albums
The Devil You Know and
Brand New History. It's interesting to note how much emotion EC was able to put into their heavily industrial songs such as
Affliction and
Emotional Stain. When asked about the use of
electronic music Hurst had this to say:
I'm still a fan of it. The thing that I found was a challenge for us was that a lot of the electronic stuff seemed a little soul-less. Rhys1 always called it 'sprocket music.' I thought that it was the perfect name for it, because it does kind of sound like a machine just clicking along. And we want to kind of put some blood and guts into that sound, and kind of give it some emotion.
