Released on CD and streaming, Dolby Atmos, and hi-res digital platforms on June 6, 2025, *Crashbox* was hailed as a bold, genre-blending statement, featuring Monkey House’s core lineup — Justin Abedin (guitar), Pat Kilbride (bass), Mark Kelso (drums) — and special guests Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan), Drew Zingg (Boz Scaggs), and powerhouse vocalists Michael Dunston and Selena Evangeline. Recorded live at Noble Street Studios in Toronto and meticulously produced by Peter Cardinali with Grammy-winning engineer John “Beetle” Bailey.
