Small Crush spent April as Chase Petra's tour mate. Unfortunately, the last two dates in San Francisco and Los Angeles were cancelled. That just meant that the dates were made up in July with the Los Angeles date being held at The Roxy. Lucky for me, I got a photo pass and was able to cover the show for US Rocker Music, which you can read here.

I will say that Bay Area band Small Crush stood out at The Roxy with their breezy indie pop sounds. It was a contrast with Chase Petra's pop-punk sounds as well as the opener's Cheridomingo's punk-alt rock music. This was the first time catching the band and the vocals of lead singer Logan Hammon immediately reminded me of one of my favorite Los Angeles bands Janelane as well as a smaller Bay Area band that I saw in 2024 called Ouch! Being that Small Crush and Ouch! are from the Bay Area, I immediately had to take a look to see if the two bands have ever played together. The answer to that is no, but I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually hook up.

What really stood out to me was Hammon's bright personality. Like I said, this was my first time catching Small Crush, but my first impression about Hammon is that she lives a life of positivity. Everyone gets sad in life and so I'm not saying that she never gets sad, but I suspect that she always turns a negative into a positive.
Song spotlight goes to the song that I felt got the loudest audience response, which would be "You Suck." Of course, picking that song is contrary to my belief that Hammon has a positive spin on life. On the other hand, like I said, even the most positive people have sadness in their life. In this case, this is about the loss of friendship.
