For three decades, Econoline Crush has thrived in the space between industrial grit and melodic uplift. With their forthcoming single 'New Gold Magic' out September 26 —produced, mixed, and mastered by Kane Churko at The Hideout—the band signals not just survival but reinvention. Frontman Trevor Hurst frames it succinctly: “New Gold Magic is about getting your swagger back.”

 The Vancouver-born band’s roots stretch back to 1992, when their debut EP Purge earned them a Juno nomination and set the tone for a career defined by collisions of metal, electronica, and arena-sized hooks. Their 1997 breakthrough The Devil You Know went platinum, buoyed by the serrated synths of 'Surefire (Never Enough)' and the soaring melancholy of 'All That You Are (X3).' Alongside contemporaries like Gravity Kills and Stabbing Westward, they carved out a uniquely Canadian lane in the global industrial-rock surge.

Grief is a complicated and emotional process. People handle it in different ways. For Econoline Crush frontman Trevor Hurst, music is his therapy.

In March 2022, the Canadian rock band’s guitarist David “Ziggy” Sigmund died. Hurst learned of his close friend’s passing over the phone 15 minutes before he was to leave to listen to the final mixes of Econoline Crush’s upcoming album, “When The Devil Drives,” which Sigmund had a hand in.

The news broke Hurst. In the months leading up to his death, Sigmund had withdrawn himself from those close to him to avoid physical and emotional pain associated with his struggles, Hurst explained. The musician said he and Sigmund were as close as brothers, and the loss consumed him with a range of emotions.

“Ziggy’s death caused me to reevaluate my own personal struggles,” Hurst said. “I was angry that he was gone. I felt abandoned and lost with no relief in sight.”

He turned to the coping tool he had learned that treats him best: music. From that pain, “Locked in Your Stone” was molded.

When you've been through tough times, the act of surviving and reaching a better place can feel miraculous. To experience a major hurt or loss and still find a way to move forward is a powerful feat. No one knows this more than Vancouver based rock band Econoline Crush, who have made a triumphant return with their new single "Invincible." Check it out on YouTube here:

The song opens with bombastic vocals from frontman Trevor Hurst, as he sings and dares pain to come at him with everything it’s got. His vocals explode especially well in the song's chorus, which is enhanced by the band's bassist Troy Zak, drummer Dayvid Swart, and the late guitarist David "Ziggy" Garrison.

Everyone has days where they want to give up. Throw in some mental-health struggles and heavy grief, and that urge to just leave just gets stronger. But long-time Vancouver rockers Econoline Crush have the antidote to that urge with their driving, pulsing, fiery new single “No Quitter” from their forthcoming album When The Devil Drives.

The two-time JUNO Award nominees have also announced a west coast Canadian tour, kicking off on June 1 at Powell River, BC and ending on June 24 in Vancouver, BC

 Full of heavy fuzz, a pounding beat, and a soaring, billowy chorus, “No Quitter” is an electrifying earworm full of lifeforce. It starts out with a dreary downbeat mood:
