Album Review: Tonight Will Ruin Tomorrow by The Crush
The Crush’s Tonight Will Ruin Tomorrow is a rollercoaster ride through rock grit and pop sensibility, with just enough edge to keep things interesting. Released under Blood Of The Young Records, this US-based band delivers an album that feels raw yet meticulously crafted. It’s not perfect—few great albums are—but it’s packed with moments that stick to your ribs.
Let’s talk tracks. “Crazy Killed The Boring” kicks things off with a punchy energy that sets the tone for what’s ahead. Its driving rhythm and snarky lyrics feel like a middle finger to mediocrity. You can almost hear the smirk in the vocals as they spit out lines about breaking free from monotony. It’s one of those songs you find yourself humming hours later, even if you didn’t mean to.
Then there’s “Fuck You In The Heart,” which stands out for its unapologetic attitude and razor-sharp delivery. This track leans heavier into the rock side of their sound, with distorted guitars and pounding drums that demand attention. The chorus hits hard—not just sonically but emotionally too. It’s messy, cathartic, and oddly relatable, like screaming into a void but making it sound cool.
Other highlights include “Custom Fit,” a moody anthem with hooks sharp enough to leave scars, and “Divided Highway,” where the band flexes their knack for blending introspective lyrics with catchy melodies. Even quieter moments like “Intermission” add texture without dragging the pace down.
What makes Tonight Will Ruin Tomorrow work isn’t perfection—it’s personality. The Crush doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel here; instead, they take familiar elements from rock and pop and twist them into something uniquely theirs. Sure, some tracks blend together after a few listens, but when they nail it, they really nail it.
In the end, this album feels less like a polished product and more like a snapshot of a band figuring themselves out—and having fun while doing it. If anything, it leaves you wondering how much crazier (and better) their next project could be. After all, tonight might ruin tomorrow, but who says we can’t enjoy the chaos?
