Crashing Through is the debut studio album by the American indie pop band Beat Happening, released in 1988. The album is characterized by its lo-fi production, jangly guitars, and simplistic melodies, which became a hallmark of the band's sound. It captures the essence of the DIY ethos of the late 1980s underground music scene, blending elements of pop and punk with a childlike innocence in its lyrics. The album has been influential in shaping the sound of later indie pop bands and is recognized for its raw authenticity and charm.
