CRUISR (pronounced cruiser) is an American indie pop band based in Philadelphia. They are signed to Vagrant Records. The line-up consists of Andy States (Vocals, Guitar), Jon Van Dine (Drums), and Bruno Catrambone (Guitar).
CRUISR's beginnings date back to 2012 as a solo project of lead singer, Andy States. States wrote and recorded the band's first EP in his Philadelphia bedroom, fixated on the idea of what it means to craft a pop song.
"I have an obsession with writing pop music and the idea that songs can transcend people," States says. "I saw that producer Jeremy Park started writing blog articles about how he recorded Youth Lagoon, so I wrote to him and sent him my songs asking for advice and knowledge. He wrote back and loved my stuff and helped me produce the first EP."
The "Cruiser EP" garnered attention on various blogs and led to the expansion of the band.[1]
On May 4, bassist Kyle Cook departed from the band to focus on his graphic design career. They announced this via the band's Facebook account.[7]
On July 17, they released a brand new 2-track single titled "Throw Shade", which also includes a b-side, "Moving to Neptune".[8]
Starting May 11, CRUISR supported PVRIS on a full U.S. tour along with Lydia.[9]
On Nov 19, CRUISR supported AGAINST THE CURRENT on their "In Our Bones" North America tour.[10]
2018Edit
In March and April, CRUISR supported Matt & Kim on the first leg of their North American tour.[11]
On April 19, CRUISR released their first single since 2016 titled 'Mind Eraser', which was featured on Spotify's New Music Friday playlist.[12]
