LAUREN NAPIER: IF YOU LIKE CATCH, THC DOES CATCHY >>>

Top Heavy Crush: the suggestive band name only makes it that much more rock and roll. If you’re into songs that immediately get stuck in your head, then this might just be a band you want to check out. Every song they create is infectiously catchy with occasional spurts of originality. But maybe you can’t have it all. Gaining notice in last year’s American Idiot competition, hosted by KISW, the band has been keeping up their momentum and rocking the socks off the Washington scene â€" with ballads like “Why Don’t You Stay” where vocalist Andrew Day croons with a portion of his heart and the entirety of his vocal chords, to in-your-face, edgier, yet rather predictable tunes such as “The Stand” â€" which could sit on shelves next to Buckcherry. Either way … you’ll leave Hell’s Kitchen with the songs stuck in your head and a need to get your hands on some Top Heavy Crush.
