Majesty Crush was one of the few American rock groups which belonged to the shoegazer genre popularized in the UK in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan USA, Majesty Crush was comprised of lead singer David Stroughter, bassist Hobey Echlin, guitarist Michael Segal and drummer Odell Nails III. While incorporating the same lush, dreamy sound as other shoegazer acts of the time, it was the lyrics of Majesty Crush songs that set them apart from all other artists of the genre.
