From the chaotic gloom of the Pacific Northwest, Old Cross pulls Influences from the early 2000’s melodic punk scene and bands like AFI, Alkaline Trio and The Used.

The three piece have released one self titled EP in 2018 and the most recent full length Daggers in 2020 on Zomie! Media Records. The new album Dead End Lullabies is OUT EVERYWHERE!

THE ATTIC

Their latest single, "The Attic," featured below, captures the band’s evolution. The track dives into existential angst with lyrics that are both poetic and brutally honest. Its soaring melodic choruses are paired with a cinematic intensity, creating a powerful contrast between beauty and tension. Subtle ominous tones woven throughout add a haunting atmosphere, making "The Attic" a standout in their growing catalogue. -Stargazer Music Magazine

GATES

““Gates” flies by at a zippy pace, alternating between slightly calmer verses and antic chorus sections. Blazing guitar rip through the song, while the bass line ricochets like a rubber ball, and the drums are pummeled within an inch of their lives. Vocals are shouted out with impassioned fervor.”

Vertebrae

““Dark and gritty, OR-based melo-punks Old Cross are dropping a new video for their single “Vertebrae” and you know New Noise has got the scoop!

Drawing influences from a range of melodic hardcore and pop-punk from the 90’s, they play swift, propellant and anthemic fast tunes that will remind you more than a little of Alkaline Trio’s early work and late-career Blink-182 (you know, before Tom left and they went dance-pop), with the shadowy aura of mid-period AFI. A spooky treat, just in time for Halloween!
