Crush Luther
Canadian musical group
Crush Luther was a Canadian pop-rock band based in Toronto, best known for their 2007 single "City Girl" and 2010 single "A Light".
History
The band formed in London, Ontario, in 2002, with members from both Uxbridge, Ontario, and Arnprior, Ontario. The original four members (Luther Mallory, Giggi Bongard, Brent Mills and Bodan Mulholland) worked together to build a strong catalogue of songs and sets before setting out to play shows in the Southern Ontario region. Towards the end of the same year, guitar player Matt Leitch (a.k.a. Matt Fury) joined the band after learning the entire set the day before his first appearance with the band.
Since 2004, the band has released a 12-song demo in several formats and pressings. In late 2006, Crush Luther signed with Toronto-based High 4 Records (owned and operated by Darrin Pfeiffer of Goldfinger), Their self-titled album was released February 13, 2007. It was recorded at Iguana Studios, Pocket Studios, and Crush Luther Studios; it was produced by vocalist Luther Mallory, and engineered by Brent Mills. The first single from the album was "City Girl", which included a music video that was popular on both MuchMusic and MuchMoreMusic. It also reached number one on the MuchMoreMusic Top 10 countdown.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Crush Luther” as canadian musical group. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters

The linked authority identifier is Q5190200. VIAF identifies the subject as 131306342. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007, 2010, 2002 and 2004.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
