Seattle-based indie rock band instant crush are sharing their latest single, “APOLOGY TOUR,” accompanied by a nostalgic music video that pays homage to the iconic film 10 Things I Hate About You.
The “APOLOGY TOUR” music video, directed by Rachel Lane and Megan Cannon, was shot at the historic Stadium High School in Tacoma, WA—the very setting of the beloved 1999 teen romantic comedy. The band’s Megan Cannon reflects on the inspiration behind the video, saying:
“Growing up, ’10 Things I Hate About You’ was the perfect blend of lightheartedness and relatability. It’s the quintessential coming-of-age film, and as Seattle natives, we wanted to honor our roots by celebrating our youth in a way that felt authentic and true to us.”
instant crush is also thrilled to announce the release of their highly anticipated debut album, I’M SORRY I DIDN’T BITE MY TONGUE, out on October 25 on Share It Music.
Formed in Seattle, instant crush consists of Megan Cannon, Matthew Tran, Keegan Mangahas, and Zoee Mangahas. Setting out to breathe new life into the genre that ruled the 2000s, instant crush is ever-evolving. Mixing sparkly synths, high-energy guitar riffs, and penetrating vocals, they take the energy of the anthemic rock bands that ruled the radio and intertwine it with overly personal lyrics that could 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.
