Early career (2006-2007)
Hyper Crush began with Fontaine and Moronie. Originally, the name of the band was the Bel-Airs, but the name changed along with their style. They sought a female vocalist to go along with Fontaine, and their long-time friend Valentine took the job.
The group first gained widespread exposure through their MySpace page. They began playing shows in Los Angeles and other places in and around California. In late 2007, they released their debut, Mixtape Volume 1, which contained 31 original Hyper Crush songs. Along with the mixtape, they also released independently-made music videos for "The Deloreon" and "Slow Motion".
Both musically and in their appearance, Hyper Crush makes copious references to the decades of the 1950s and 1980s.[citation needed] For example, they have made references to Nintendo, Technicolor, Hypercolor clothing, and Genesis. They even used sounds from Nintendo's Duck Hunt game to begin the song "The Arcade" and music from The Legend of Zelda to end it.
The Arcade (2008)
The Arcade, released on May 1, 2008, was the debut album of Hyper Crush, and the follow-up to Mixtape Volume 1. The album featured 13 songs, 2 of which had been previously released on the mixtape.
At the CD release party hosted by Hyper for the album. party, they also premiered the video for "The Arcade", the title track of the album, although it was not put online and made viewable to the public until June 30.The video was a joint project of Six29 Entertainment and A hill Productions and was directed by Mickey Finnegan.It was Hyper Crush's third video, but the first one to be professionally done.
Signing with Universal Motown
In early November 2008, Hyper Crush signed with Universal Motown. They said in a 2008 interview for BVTV (Bella Vista High School in California) that they had a new album coming out and it was "almost done". They said that since "The Arcade" was independently released, they would re-use about 8 of the songs from The Arcade and the rest of the new album would be new songs. They also stated that they don't have a final name for the new album, then added, perhaps facetiously, that Bella Vista Rocks The Arcade was the working title. In another BVTV interview, in 2009, the band said they were still "mixing down" the album and hoping for a release that summer.
Hyper Crush released the video for "Robo Tech" in late February 2009. This was their fourth video and second video to be professionally done. It was directed by Mickey Finnegan, as was "The Arcade".
The delays in releasing their second album incited the band to release some material through a different channel, and they released their second mixtape on the Internet on June 26, 2009. Valentine spoke about the mixtape:
“ We wanted to make something cool to put out, especially because our album seems like it’s taking long to people... We were like, ‘Okay, it’s hard to put the album out so we’re gonna put out a 21-song mixtape.’ Making new music is important to us and we want to give that to our fans.”
Hyper Crush released the first single off their upcoming album on September 17, 2009, titled "Keep Up". They have also filmed a music video which is yet to be released.

Hyper Crush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gets busy 'til you miss me
Shit you better believe
Catch me pop it, lock it, roll it steady
Move it by frame,
If you wanna get with it then do just the same
Slow Motion
Don't stop get it get it
(Slow Motion)
Move it roll, over throw
I'll be standin' toe to toe
Pushin' for them motor cars
Pony Boy is so bizarre
Pat spanish puertorican
Dancin' to a gorgeous beat
Black, white, asian people's
All these different faces equal
Focus on the rhythm count it
One, two, three, four
Girlys in the spotty yellin teach me some more
You can call me super lover
I like walks on the beach
I want a girly that so stupid
She can talk to a tree
Slow Motion
Don't stop get it get it
(Slow Motion)
Don't stop get it get it
(Slow Motion)
Hate what I see you can
You see me
I'm lookin at ya thinking things you wouldn't believe, uh huh
Hate what I see you can
You see me
I'm lookin at ya thinking things you wouldn't believe, uh huh
Don't stop, your gonna get it
Don't stop, you know your gonna get it
We are Hyper Crush and we are not to mess with
Donnie, Preston, Holly and we're bigger than Texas
Circuit nitro 50 soldiers
Hand me a milkshake
Preston's got a bottle and
Hollie with the silk lace
(X4)
Don't stop get it get it
(Slow Motion)
Stick in move, listen dude
Me and Nitro 62
Push in a hot rod rollin' deep
Candy paint, open seats
Tinted windows so discrete
Aqua boogie crystal blue
I told you this is 62
I'm rollin' with the vicious crew
Arm point, arm and hammer
Pony Boy is off the handle
Move, stop, shake it down
Focus on the ancient sound
Hang, Tut, super mummy
Show me what you do for money
Pull, touch, watch me do it, you. F. O
(Slow Motion, Slow Motion)
(X4)
Hate what I see you can
You see me
I'm lookin at ya thinking thing you would believe, uh huh
Don't stop, your gonna get
Don't stop, you know your gonna get it
Row down, dirty dog
Kids in the back you heard me talk
Bourbon in the track, start to sweat
I haven't even started yet
Exotic dances, super models
Easy just like shootin' bottles
Nice grip, squeeze you tight
I'm gonna make you scream tonight
See the light, your freakin' right
Slow Motion step side
Watch as I do the electric slide, slide
Dirty dancin'
Even bait know that anthem
Code red, group is burnin'
Ain't nobody to concernin'
Stop, Slow Motion
(X2)
Hate what I see you can
You see me
I'm lookin at ya thinking thing you would believe, uh huh
Don't stop, your gonna get it

Don't stop you know your gonna get it

Don't stop get it get it
