Hyper Crush is an American electro-hip hop group from Los Angeles, California, consisting of rapper Donny Fontaine, singer Holly Valentine, and DJ/keytarist Preston Moronie.

[5] When they sought a female vocalist to go along with Fontaine, their long-time friend Holly Valentine (born Angelina Araya) took the job.

[7] Common examples of these references include the Nintendo, popular arcade games from the 1980s, Technicolor, Hypercolor clothing, the DeLorean, and Sega Genesis.

Sounds from Nintendo's Duck Hunt game begin the song "The Arcade" and music from The Legend of Zelda end it.

During live performances, Fontaine often wields a modified laser shooting version of the 1989 Nintendo Power Glove.

At the CD release party hosted by Hyper Crush, they also premiered the video for "The Arcade", the title track of the album,[9] although it was not put online and made viewable to the public until June 30.

They also stated that they don't have a final name for the new album, then added, perhaps facetiously, that Bella Vista Rocks The Arcade was the working title.

After three years without any news, on March 31, 2016 Hyper Crush posted a video on their YouTube channel[28] which shows all three members of the group working on a new album.

After three more years out of the music scene, in July 2019 Hyper Crush announced through their Instagram account that they're planning to drop a new record, marking their official comeback.

[29] On September 25, 2020, Hyper Crush released the single "Repeat" on several streaming services and published a music video.

[32] Hyper Crush has toured with bands such as The Medic Droid, Millionaires, Brokencyde, J0HNNY, Karate High School, Chronic Future, And Then There Were None, The Arrival,[33] and Lisa D'Amato.

[citation needed] In August 2010, Hyper Crush co-headlined the Lazertag Tour with Far East Movement with music by DJ EYE and special guests The Cataracs and Dev.

[40] Near the end of 2010 it was revealed that Michael Wagner, a fan of the group, and Voxel Software were working on an 8-bit iPhone game titled Hyper Crush: The 8-Bit Adventure.

[41] Fontaine, Valentine, and Moronie are featured as playable characters with their own personal weapons: Power Glove, Zapper Gun and Keytar, respectively.

[47] "Keep Up" was chosen to be the official song of the 2011 Alt Games, and the group took stage immediately after the Flowboarding Finals for a live performance.
