Video premieres at noon ET today:

Of the new track, the band says “‘Optimist’ is a song about being there for someone you care about when they’re going through their darkest times. No matter how hard life gets or how much they feel like giving up, we refuse to let them face it alone. When the world seems to be falling apart around them, I promise to stay by their side, offering hope and strength, even when they can’t see it themselves. I will be the one who lifts them up, choosing to focus on the good and reminding them that there’s always a way out of the darkness. It’s about love, resilience, and never letting them lose sight of the light, even when the world tries to count them out.”

2024 has been a breakout year for Crash Adams. The group have taken their music around the world, with stops in Dubai, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines. In addition to these international stops, the band completed a North American headlining tour that included a sold-out show in their hometown of Toronto, Canada.

Crash Adams’ music has the same kind of mood-lifting power as a hit of pure dopamine. Their cinematic, larger-than-life songs relay a potent, affective mix of adrenaline, nostalgia, and hard-earned gratitude. The duo have an impressive knack for storytelling, citing art-pop acts like The 1975 and country music acts like Dan + Shay as their inspiration for writing tracks that tug at listeners’ heart strings and remind them how beautiful daily experiences can be, given the right framing.

#NEWMUSIC: CRASH ADAMS RELEASE DEBUT EP “CRASHING INTO YOUR LIVING ROOM”

Feel-good pop duo Crash Adams have released their debut EP Crashing Into Your Living Room, Vol. 1 via Warner Records / WMG Canada. The five-song project sees the band realizing their vision to create larger-than-life songs that relay a potent mix of adrenaline, nostalgia, and hard-earned gratitude. Listen to Crashing Into Your Living Room Vol. 1 HERE.

About the new EP, lead singer Rafaele Massarelli says, “We like a little bit of everything in our projects. We like a little bit of party, a little bit of emotion. We like to have something more serious, and maybe something is just completely ridiculous. We always take a piece of each emotion and put it together on our projects.”

Guitarist Vince Sasso adds, “We want to make people feel like they can do whatever they want. If you feel like you want to go to the moon, we want to make you believe you really can.”

The five-track body of work is filled with energy and uncontainable positivity. With no shortage of head-nodding hooks, Crashing Into Your Living Room Vol. 1 also showcases the scope of Crash Adams’ signature style. Among many standouts, horns cry out over sparse piano on the bold ballad “Good & Bad.” Meanwhile, a raw and relatable chorus takes hold, “When I’m looking back on the love we had, I got no regrets. It was good and bad. You’re the best I had.” Then, there’s the fiery “Right Foot First.” Funkified guitar sets the track in motion at full speed as ecstatic high-register vocals resound over a swaggering strut.

Crash Adams have had a monumental start to 2024. The pop hitmakers have captivated fans around the globe while being named one of the top artists on TikTok Canada in 2023. The duo also recently received a Juno Award nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year and will appear on the 2024 broadcast this Sunday to present the award for TikTok Juno Fan Choice.
