Crush Luther are a Canadian pop-rock band based in Toronto, best known for their 2007 single "City Girl" and 2010 single "A Light".
The band formed in London, Ontario in 2002, with members from both Uxbridge, Ontario and Arnprior, Ontario. The original four members (Luther Mallory, Giggi Bongard, Brent Mills and Bodan Mulholland) worked together to build a strong catalogue of songs and sets before setting out to play shows in the Southern Ontario region. Towards the end of the same year, guitar player Matt Leitch (aka. Matt Fury) joined the band after learning the entire set the day before his first appearance with the band.
Since 2004, the band has released a 12-song demo in several formats and pressings. In late 2006, Crush Luther signed with Toronto-based High 4 Records (owned and operated by Darrin Pfeiffer of Goldfinger), the same label to which the band Cauterize was signed. Their self-titled album was released February 13, 2007. It was recorded at Iguana Studios, Pocket Studios, and Crush Luther Studios; it was produced by vocalist Luther Mallory, and engineered by Brent Mills. The first single from the album was "City Girl", which included a music video that was popular on both MuchMusic and MuchMoreMusic. It also reached number one on the MuchMoreMusic Top 10 countdown. A second single, "The Cools", was released to radio and the music video was in heavy rotation on MuchMusic.
You know it's something baby
You've always been a favourite of mine
But I can't make my world the way you make it all the time
You're my angel baby, I'm your valentine
And I'll hold you, Caroline
You know it's something baby
'Cause nobody could feel me so good
But you got me holding on like you never understood
You're my angel baby
So don't you think we should
But I know you, and I know you never would
Oh but once in a while, Caroline
She makes me some exception
And she dances around me
Oh and once in a while, Caroline, Caroline
She gives me a little attention
I got all my love my lady
I don't want to wait 'cause it's the waiting that's killing me
I'm doing so much without you
And I believe you're doing it too
But I think we could get along
And so I propse we do
You're my angel baby, if only that were true
