Crossed

About

Crossed: Stripped-Down Angst with Amplified Impact Raw emotion bleeds from every note, every screamed lyric, every distorted riff. Crossed isn’t just a band; it’s a sonic catharsis distilled into aggressive, yet surprisingly nuanced, hardcore punk. Hailing from Pennsylvania, their sound pulls from the gnashing teeth of early Converge, the dissonant energy of Botch, and a surprising undercurrent of melodic hardcore akin to Modern Life Is War. Emerging from the fertile underground scene, Crossed quickly garnered attention for their unrelenting live performances. Their 2019 EP, "Ruthless, Toothless," served as a vicious introduction, showcasing a brutal intensity tempered by moments of genuine vulnerability. This rawness resonated, leading to extensive touring and a growing fanbase drawn to their unflinching honesty. Crossed is more than just aggression. Their lyrics grapple with themes of mental health, societal disillusionment, and the struggle for personal redemption, providing a voice for those often unheard. Collaborative efforts with artists in the DIY hardcore scene have solidified their commitment to community and artistic integrity. Their recent signing to DAZE Records and the subsequent release of their debut LP, "Anguish," marks a new chapter, promising a wider audience for their potent brand of emotionally charged hardcore. With "Anguish," Crossed doesn't just scream; they demand to be heard.
