instant crush – I’m Sorry I Didn’t Bite My Tongue DELUXE

Seattle-based indie rock band instant crush is excited to announce the release of the deluxe edition of their acclaimed debut album I’M SORRY I DIDN’T BITE MY TONGUE on Share It Music.

The expanded release features six new tracks – three new studio recordings and three previously unreleased demos – together with the original album release tracklist. The band has shared the deluxe edition’s lead single, “GRUDGE.”

On the song, Megan Cannon shares:

‘Grudge’ is a song I wrote about my frustration in the music industry. I feel like throughout my life I’ve done a lot of things out of spite (for better or for worse) and there is nothing I enjoy more than proving people wrong. At the very start of this band it seemed like people thought I was only capable of doing one thing or sounding one way, and those words really stuck with me for a long time and I felt a bitterness in my soul that would eat away at me. I thought I was genuinely an awful person for never letting anything go and holding resentment in my heart, but it was that trait that I think made me work harder. I wanted to make something gritty, different, and unlike something that would be expected from instant crush.

Megan Cannon, born and raised in Seattle, Washington, began her musical journey from the depths of her bedroom. Driven by a desire for collaboration, she soon paired up with fellow musicians Matthew Tran, Keegan Mangahas, and Zoee Mangahas, and together they became instant crush.

With a mission to breathe new life into the genre that ruled the 2000s, instant crush is ever-evolving. Fusing shimmering synths, electrifying guitar riffs, and penetrating vocals, they take the energy of the anthemic rock bands that ruled the radio and intertwine it with poignant, soul-baring lyrics fit to be the soundtrack of a coming-of-age film. Put simply, instant crush makes music for the tongue biters who have a lot on their mind.

Having shared the stage with renowned acts such as Del Water Gap, the Home Team, the Wrecks, the Plain White T’s, Daisy Grenade, and Friday Pilots Club, and joining the bill for festivals such as Capitol Hill Block Party and Treefort Music Fest, instant crush is carving their own space in the alternative music scene that raised them. The deluxe release of their debut album I’M SORRY I DIDN’T BITE MY TONGUE further solidifies themselves as a band on the rise.
