Hyper Crush Revisit the Arcades of the '80s

Ever since this summer when they crashed into the buzz universe, Hyper Crush has indeed been living up to the "hype" part of their band moniker. Although their video for 'The Arcade' is a shamelessly engineered throwback to the neon '80s, you gotta admit, it's almost as irresistible as watching old reruns of 'Punky Brewster' or 'Silver Spoon.' Almost.

MC Donny Fontaine (no relation to Vanilla Ice) tells Spinner that Hyper Crush tries "to bring back the things we loved the most when we were kids and mix it in with the new s---." Well, that would explain the Power Glove and the keytar. Maybe. "We got a lot of the Nintendo stuff from eBay, and mom and pop video game spots," admits Fontaine. "And some of the stuff we just found in our closets."

The big news here is that Hyper Crush has the entire stock of Spencer Gifts, circa 1988, in their closets (although we suspect the edible underwear is suspiciously missing).
