The Crash
Big Ass Love

Warner Finland

WE SAY

A brand new track from The Crash, exclusive to Record of the Day, which confirms our belief that they could be the next Finnish band to break internationally (they've already had a big hit in Germany with Star). Big Ass Love is preposterously catchy and likeable. This is credible pop that's anything but self-conscious. The Crash play London's Islington Academy this Thursday March 10, and details of their SXSW show are here.
