That is, until I found my mom’s copy of _Beauty and the Beat_, so full of sunshine and sass,” says guitarist **Hayley Crusher Cain** of California power trio **Hayley and the Crushers **about discovering her love for the **The Go-Go’s** and their iconic 1982 debut album. “I was seven years old, wearing my mini mouse swimsuit, singing into a hairbrush, and proclaiming that we, indeed, got the beat. I didn’t quite know who ‘we’ were until I found punk, and punk rock girls. Luckily, I became one.”  Fittingly, Hayley and the Crushers have chosen to cover The Go-Go’s “Lust to Love” from the iconic band’s debut album _Beauty and the Beat _for the new Go-Go’s sanctioned vinyl tribute compilation from label Sympathy for the Record Industry, **“**_**If you Gotta Go-Go, Go-Go Now.**_**” ** The compilation is slated for CD release next month and brings together 24 female- led bands from around the world to celebrate. Along with Hayley’s spirited cover is gal pal, ‘80s New Wave icon **Josie Cotton** and her novel take on dreamy girl pop of “**Fading Fast,**” also from _Beauty and the Beat, _which will be released as a single at a later date. “At first, I said‘ no’ when the producer Travis Ramin and John of Sympathy For The Music Industry asked me to be on it,” confesses Josie. “I didn’t know if it made a lot of sense coming from such a powerpop adjacent genre of music with The Go-Go’s. Then I realized I could morph the song into something unrecognizable, and then I had to do it. It’s a double album of the most amazing female rockers paying tribute to this game-changing band.” Hayley And The Crushers - Lust to Love (Official Video) [⌊Hayley And The Crushers - Lust to Love (Official Video)⌉⌊Hayley And The Crushers- Lust to Love (Official Video)⌉ Watch this video on YouTube **Hayley And The Crushers “Lust To Love”** Both Josie and Hayley are currently working on new albums for **Kitten Robot Records**, the label headed by Josie and home to a diverse roster of artists including the avant post-punk stylings of CrowJane, the layered shoegaze of Tombstones In Their Eyes, the Britpop-leanings of Velvet Starlings, the bass-centered lushness of Kira, and the late Mark Lanegan’s Dark Mark vs. Skeleton Joe – a joint project with The Icarus Line’s Joe Cardamone.
