Though originally from Seattle, Washington, they eventually moved to lead singer Trevor Hurst's native Canada, where they have been the most successful. Notable singles include "Wicked", "Home", "Sparkle and Shine" and "You Don't Know What It's Like".

The band was formed around 1992, after Hurst answered an ad placed by Tom Ferriss (formerly of Moev) in a Seattle-area newspaper. The band released a 5-song EP called "Purge" before their first LP, "Affliction" came out to critical acclaim and moderate commercial success in Canada.

Though it received mixed reviews, their second LP, The Devil You Know, has been the band's greatest commercial success to date. Produced by veteran producer Sylvia Massy (Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers), the album features a more mainstream sound than "Affliction." After their success with "The Devil You Know," the band returned to the studio with another veteran producer, Bob Rock (Metallica, Motley Crue), to create their third LP, which became "Brand New History."

While "Brand New History" was a moderate commercial success, it received mixed critical reviews. Following the release of the album's first single in 2001, "Make It Right," the band went on hiatus. During the hiatus, Trevor Hurst started a new band called "Hurst". However, in January 2007, the band got back together to tour with Hinder across Canada and most recently, with Three Days Grace and Seether. Their independently-released fourth LP, "Ignite," came out on January 15, 2008.

Econoline Crush's current lineup is:

Trevor Hurst (vocals)

Deeper
Econoline Crush Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sold out the truth
And repackaged the lis
Polluted our souls
Took the dreams from our lives
Don't let them beat you
Don't let them win
Hold on
Hold on

My love is never ending
Coming over you
Make it all right

Carry you through
Then the pain will subside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Econoline Crush's song Deeper appear to be a call to resist the forces that seek to harm us. The first few lines suggest that we live in a world where truth has been abandoned in favor of a more marketable message, and that our very souls have been polluted by these forces. The song's narrator urges us not to give up, to hold on and fight for what's right, because love can conquer all.

The chorus of the song provides some hope in the face of this bleak picture. The singer promises to be there for us, to help us through the hard times and ease our pain. This sentiment is amplified in the final lines of the song, when the singer says that together we can move past our troubles and find a better tomorrow.

Overall, Deeper is a song that speaks to the pain of living in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving, but energizes listeners to stand up and fight back. We must hold on to what we believe in and rely on our connections with others to move forward.
