2012's Biggest Misses: Hyper Crush Releases (Several) Videos

You'd think as hot as I find Preston from the group Hyper Crush that I would keep up with them better. The truth is I do, but I usually can't find a whole lot to say about them that isn't just about how incredibly sexy they all are. Seeing as it's a new year, I guess I should start it all off right, right? Well I missed these three videos, and it's abut damn time I talked about 'em!




"Bad Boyz" was one of my favorite tracks from the band's newest album "Night Wave." This video does it great justice in that it is completely batshit crazy. I mean this video makes next to no sense. It starts with Holly coming out of the computer in order to make Donny into a man, and from there it all spins out of control in the best way possible. They continuously lag across the screen (leaving copies of themselves overlapping each other as they do so), they dress up as ninjas, and there's even a tiger or two. It's completely green screened, which was something a lot of the fans seemed to hate. Others said they just don't "get" it, but really, I don't think there is anything to get. It's just the trio being crazy, business as usual.




This one is much more coherent than the previous video. Donny gets busted for smuggling a new drug called "Chead", and cops Holly and Preston interrogate him. My question is why couldn't I be frisked by Preston in a cop costume? The rest of the video consists of the two cops torturing Donny to try and get info out of him spliced with flashbacks of the club where he had used the drug. All I really have to say about this song is that it took one of my least favorite tracks from the album and made it truly enjoyable. Preston totally stole the show, and now all I can think about is his porn stache. Dear lord help me.




I am sad to say, but this is probably my least favorite Hyper Crush video to date. I mean, they look good, and the production is great, but it just didn't feel right. The only way I can describe the video is if Hyper Crush invaded the set of Animal House. At least my megacrush looks stunning. But when does he not?

It's obvious to anyone with a brain and an eye or two that Hyper Crush has come a long way since they left their record label. If anything, since leaving Universal Motown to found Night Wave Records, they have gotten far better. They've honed their sound and found a core audience. They have also found the right production team to make some visually impressive videos, with "Werk Me" being one of the best videos released this decade.
