Energy moves like sound. You may not always see it, but you feel it. Teeming with energy, Crash Adams electrify pop with skyscraper-size hooks, alternative experimentation, and the kind of chemistry that could only be conjured from a lifetime of friendship. The JUNO Award-nominated Toronto duo鈥擱afaele Massarelli and Vince Sasso鈥攈ave quietly surged to the forefront of culture with over half-a-billion streams, sold-out shows, and acclaim from the likes of NBC, The Honey Pop, rain Magazine, and many others.

However, the pair have only continued to progress at lightspeed on their 2025 EP, Crashing Into Your Living Room, Vol. 2 [Warner Music Canada/Warner Records], and more music to come.

“We poured our hearts into this EP,鈥� Rafaele and Vince agree. 鈥淲e want our music to be a source of good energy, a reminder that even when things are tough, there’s always a reason to feel good and move forward. We can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

Rafeale and Vince have known each other since their childhood in Toronto. Upon graduation from Western University, Rafeale reached out to his old buddy, and they picked up where they left off (but with instruments in-hand). Most musicians hyper-focus on their record collections for inspiration, but these guys actually turned to a book, well, an audiobook. Under the influence of Neville Goddard鈥檚 The Complete Reader, they repeated a mantra of their own, 鈥淲e鈥檙e making a song. This is going to change people鈥檚 lives.鈥�

Formally launching Crash Adams in 2019, they posted music online and organically attracted an audience one fan at a time, developing a magnetic signature style anchored by live instrumentation and traffic-stopping vocals. During 2022, the band broke through in a big way with 鈥淕ive Me A Kiss,鈥� reeling in over 100 million Spotify streams. It notably paved the way for 2024鈥檚 Crashing Into Your Living Room, Vol. 1鈥攈ailed by rain as 鈥淎 tribute to vintage charm and modern sound.鈥� Among many highlights, the latter spawned 鈥淕ood Side,鈥� which generated over 18 million Spotify streams.

The boys further gathered momentum in 2025. They made a much talked-about appearance on America鈥檚 Got Talent, performing the 鈥淥ptimist鈥� and inciting a standing ovation from the audience and applause from the judges. Not to mention, SiriusXM Hits1 named Crash Adams 鈥淢ale Breakthrough Group of the Year.鈥� At the same time, the band naturally leveled up again. The single 鈥淣ew Heart鈥� exploded on TikTok, vaulted on to the Global Shazam Chart and Spotify Viral Charts in 12 markets, and generated tens of millions of streams. It also heralded their sophomore EP Crashing Into Your Living Room, Vol. 2. From the disco-fied funk guitar of 鈥淜araoke鈥� to the impossible-to-shake head-nodding hook of 鈥淟ove You Twice,鈥� the seven-track body of work saw them perfect their slick, swaggering, and sunny sound with precision, poise, and passion.

Ultimately, Crash Adams have got enough energy for everyone to go around.

鈥淲e like a little bit of everything in our projects,鈥� Rafeale and Vince leave off. 鈥淲e like a little bit of party, a little bit of emotion. We like to have something more serious, and maybe something is just completely ridiculous. We always take a piece of each emotion and put it together on our projects.鈥�
