U.S. Crush was a California punk band, formed in 1997 after frontman Denny Lake's former project Atomic Boy split up. The band also featured Hodgie Haynes, Dave Hanson (both on guitar), Ky Lambert (bass) and Dennis Wolfe (drums).

U.S. Crush was a California punk band, formed in 1997 after frontman Denny Lake's former project Atomic Boy split up. The band also featured Hodgie Haynes, Dave Hanson (both on guitar), Ky Lambert (bass) and Dennis Wolfe (drums).
The Hollywood Reporter described them as "a more catchy and melodic brand of punk, blending neo-Sex Pistols riffs with touches of power pop, British Invasion and good old rock 'n' roll".
It would not be until three years after forming that U.S. Crush saw its first piece of moderate success in its major label debut album, U.S. Crush, which was released in 2000, featuring their radio hit single "Same Old Story (She's So Pretty)", which had received heavy rotation on KROQ. The album was described as "erupting with swelling pop melodies, hot-lava guitar textures and urgent punk attitude", and a "well crafted first effort". To date, this is U.S. Crush's only released album. About a year after its release, the group parted ways with Immortal/Virgin.
