Cold Crush Records, headed by Derek Fudesco (Pretty Girls Make Graves, ex-Murder City Devils) and Steve Aoki (Dim Mak Records), has just launched their website. Their first release will be with Seattle's Hint Hint. The band is touring the West Coast in November with Pretty Girls Make Graves. A song from Hint Hint is available at the label's website. Click below for the track listing.

The label's second release will be from the Hookers. The Hookers were Spencer Moody (vocals), Dann Gallucci (guitar), Andrea Zollo (drums), and Derek Fudesco (bass). This album contains eight songs, four of which went on to be Murder City Devils songs, recorded seven or eight years ago. The Hookers were only a band for a little over six months and played about five shows. The four tracks that were later used as Murder City Devils' songs include stripped down, organ-less versions of "Broken Glass," "Officer," "Boom Swagger Boom," and "Tell You Brother."
