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 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tired Defeated
Taken Round The Block And Beaten
Dying To Be Noticed
Try It
Then The Notice Came Due
Like Treason
A One Way Ticket Back To Eden
Digging Through The Evidence
[Chorus]
I Just Want To Let You Know
Or You Can Make It Hurt
You Can Make It Fast Or Slow
You Can Make It Easy
Silence, Screaming
[verse 2]
Everything In Between
Stone Cold Vision
You Don't Want To Make It Worse
Leave It
Like It
Take It Down The Road Deceive It
Nothing's Gonna save You
Nothing's Sacred Here
[Chorus x2]
[verse 3]
Fill My World With All Your Sad Regrets
Blown Away
Holding Out For What I'll Never Get
Thrown Away
You Got Me Down And Out Again
Blown Away
Gone Away Again
[chorus x 2]
Thrown Away
[repeat verse 1]
[chorus x 2[repeat verse 3]
The lyrics of Econoline Crush's song Trash talks about a person who feels tired, defeated, and beaten after trying to get noticed by others. Despite trying hard, they end up being betrayed, and their trust is broken. They keep digging through the evidence, trying to find something that went wrong. The chorus talks about how one can either make things hurt or make it easy, fast or slow. The person is torn between silence and screaming, unable to decide what to do. In the end, they feel that nothing is going to save them, and nothing is sacred anymore.
The lyrics of the song suggest a feeling of desperation, where the person is trying hard to get noticed but is constantly being let down. The use of phrases like "dying to be noticed" and "nothing is sacred here" shows a sense of hopelessness and despair. The person feels like they have been betrayed and are trying to make sense of what happened to them. The use of contradictory phrases like "silence, screaming" reflects the person's inner turmoil.
Overall, Trash talks about the feeling of desperation and betrayal that one can experience while trying to get noticed by others. The lyrics suggest that sometimes the efforts put in by a person may not bear fruit, and they may end up feeling lost and hopeless.
