press release:

Husband-Wife Duo Bring Unique “Honky Tonk Surf Blues” to Mickey's Tavern, May 15th, 2015. 

Dynamic duo Crushed Out will headline Mickey's Tavern in Madison, WI Friday, May 15th. With their joyous and high energy live show the duo are known to melt cold cold hearts and set folks to dancing in the aisles. Crushed Out's influences come from their shared love of 'atomic' 50's rock n' roll, Delta & Chicago Blues, and reverb drenched SoCal Surf guitar. Moselle commands the drums with a ferocious femininity and Franklin's soulful howl slaps back to an era when a man spoke his mind, creating a sound that delivers on all those things rock'n'roll promised us so long ago.  

The husband wife duo, Franklin (from Los Angeles) and Moselle (from New Hampshire), have been living on the American road for the past 5 years. The band was born in Brooklyn, NY in 2010 when the couple were invited to play a loft dance party in their neighborhood of Bushwick. Now with 9 national tours, one EP (Show Pony, 2010) and two full length albums (Want to Give, 2012 and Teeth, 2014) under their belts the couple have honed a unique sound and dynamic live show.

"Their sound is forward thinking, never adhering to genre lines and consistently reworking itself into something new." - Paste Magazine
