Capone Upped To GM, Rock @ Crush
• Crush Music has upped Garrett Capone to GM, Rock Music, effective immediately. Previously VP of Rock Formats, Capone has delivered #1s for Panic! At The Disco, Green Day, Weezer, Lorde, Fall Out Boy and more over his nine years at the company. Last year alone, Capone hit #1 with Weezer’s “Hero” at Alternative as well as Green Day’s “Father of All…” and “Oh Yeah.” He also shepherded Panic! At The Disco’s 4X-platinum single “High Hopes” to a record-breaking 76 weeks in the No.1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs Chart.
“Capone has proven time and time again that nothing is impossible,” said Dan Kruchkow, CMO of Crush Music. “He consistently deliveries and is the human embodiment of the Crush spirit. We’re all excited to watch him continue to smash records, bring in #1s and dominate streaming and radio.”
Capone said, “It’s truly inspiring to work alongside the very best in the business: co-owners Jonathan Daniel& Bob McLynn, CMO Dan Kruchkow, the entire Crush team, as well as the diverse roster of uniquely talented artists. ‘Impossible Is Nothing’ and this group proves it on a daily basis.” Prior to joining Crush, Capone was Program Director of 91X/San Diego.
