Trevor reflects on a moment when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/muchofficial\/?hl=en\"><strong>MuchMusic<\/strong><\/a> helped build a true star system at home, giving Canadian bands space to break through in a meaningful way. From the heavier West Coast energy that shaped Econoline Crush\u2019s identity to the challenges of experimenting with sampling and electronics before the industry was ready for it, he paints a vivid portrait of a band carving out its own lane\u2014often against the grain. We also dig into the unlikely rise of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Lc0RdE5q1Xs\">You Don\u2019t Know What It\u2019s Like<\/a><\/em>, the song that almost wasn\u2019t, until a detour through the U.S. and a recording session with Bob Rock turned it into one of the most memorable tracks of its era.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"1504\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Trevor also opens up about the turning points that made the ride unforgettable\u2014from the surreal night Econoline Crush stepped into Celine Dion\u2019s slot at the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Juno_Awards_of_1998\">Juno Awards<\/a> to backstage moments that confirmed they\u2019d truly arrived. Today, he balances life as a musician with his work as a psychiatric nurse, but music remains his anchor. Our conversation closes with a powerful look at why he still believes in the magic of music\u2014its ability to ground us, connect us, and remind us to tell the people we love that we love them. It&#8217;s a raw, generous, and passionate conversation with one of Canada\u2019s most enduring rock voices.<\/p>\n<h6><b>Connect with Econoline Crush:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/econolinecrushmusic.com\/\">WEBSITE<\/a> || <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/econolinecrushofficial\/?hl=en\">ECONOLINE CRUSH INSTAGRAM<\/a> || <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hursthq\/?hl=en\">TREVOR HURST INSTAGRAM<\/a> || <a href=\"https:\/\/econolinecrushmusic.com\/music\">MUSIC<\/a><\/b><\/h6>\n<p><strong>Tracklist:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.) <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/376zCRm5StOQyVBgHQtnMt?si=07646df24ffa4eb5\"><strong>Econoline Crush<\/strong> &#8211; Sparkle and Shine<\/a> || <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/0Imd5b8ZBWRpFSmqGuxLIh?si=V_6ueps5QcWGSeNcA6D5kA\">The Devil You Know<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n2.) <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/50mKGx40EqwIekEwWpC47m?si=a726e0f38b44456c\"><strong>Econoline Crush<\/strong> &#8211; You Don&#8217;t Know What It&#8217;s Like<\/a> || <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/4vRTFlSocgxhJUISM8P2s3?si=Jw7TAY6MTD2UUX6RI2HE-A\"><em>Brand New History<\/em><\/a><br \/>\n3.) <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6brz2C1qsmHEbjIxvuGif3?si=80e7c39215c1446a\"><strong>Econoline Crush<\/strong> &#8211; New Gold Magic<\/a> || <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/1bPLZsK3IbnmbS1YOx4KVK?si=A7fe_FsBShWfnEzQq_C9tA\"><em>single<\/em><\/a> (on broadcast version only)<br \/>\n4.) <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/3z9wl4sY8SqM8GurmuCLa9?si=fdbc94bd0f6a4474\"><strong>Econoline Crush<\/strong> &#8211; All That You Are (x3)<\/a> || <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/0Imd5b8ZBWRpFSmqGuxLIh?si=V_6ueps5QcWGSeNcA6D5kA\"><em>The Devil You Know<\/em><\/a> (on broadcast version only)<\/p>\n<p><b>Did this conversation resonate with you?<\/b>\u00a0Let us know your favorite part!
