Atlantic records band
It was a band on Atlantic Records from 1991 to 1993 featuring original members: singer-songwriter Michael Bramon, guitarist-songwriter John Valentine Carruthers (formerly of Siouxsie And The Banshees -where he had replaced Robert Smith who had left to form The Cure), and drummer-songwriter Paul Ferguson (formerly of Killing Joke -which he co-founded).
Crush was previously known as Pleasurehead on Island Records from 1990-1991. Bramon left Crush to form Head with Saraya, Joan Jett guitarist-songwriter Tony Bruno (aka Tony Rey) in 1993 (Bruno later joined and co-wrote for Enrique Iglesias, and produced and co-wrote for Mandy Moore). Carruthers is a co-writer of the Banshees classic song, "Cities In Dust." Ferguson, who co-wrote "The Wait." made famous by Metallica, later joined his former drum roadie, Alex Patterson in The Orb. In 1990, the unsigned Patterson, whilst working as an assistant to UK remixer Youth, had sent Bramon & Ferguson his early Orb demos- and he was then tapped to remix Pleasurehead's "She Came Down" (later remixed for US radio in 1993 by PM Dawn. The Orb was soon signed to Island Records himself through some initial efforts & connections made at Island (and their sub-label Delicious Vinyl) by Bramon & Ferguson. Pleasurehead was formed originally with bassist Legion, who was introduced to Bramon by MTV 120 Minutes VJ-producer-co-creator Dave Kendall, Bramon's roommate in New York City at that time.
Kendall was originally brought on board to 120 Minutes in 1986 by MTV executive Judy McGrath (later president of MTV) through connections made to MTV by Bramon. In 1993 Kendall left MTV to host and write the weekly television show Music Scoupe on the Fox network. Matt Pinfield then replaced Kendall as host of 120 Minutes shortly thereafter. Obviously compiled and written by Michael Bramon.

"Orange Crush" was the second single from R.E.M.'s sixth studio album, Green, in 1989. It failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 despite reaching #1 on both the Mainstream and Modern Rock Tracks. It peaked at #28 on the UK Singles Charts, easily making it the band's then-highest chart in Britain.
Though Michael Stipe's lyrics are generally oblique, it is thought that the title of this song refers to Agent Orange, the defoliant/herbicide used by U.S. forces during the Vietnam War.
As a guest on the late-night show Last Call with Carson Daly, Michael explained that the song was about a young football player leaving the comforts of home for the war in Vietnam.
The song was placed on R.E.M.'s Warner Bros. Records compilation In Time - The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 in 2003.
The song will be playable in the upcoming video game Rock Band.
Cover versions
British indie rock band Editors recorded it as the B-side for the re-issue of the "Blood" single. The remake of the song was also featured in "The Metamorphosis," a fourth-season episode of The OC.
They also played the song at the 2006 V Festival with New York based band We Are Scientists

Approximate sales were in excess of two million copies, making the album double platinum in the USA and with sales over 9 million copies world wide, making it a best seller.
