drewberinger Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 what a fucking weird signing but anything that makes it easier to get a LP version of the new record is fine by me. just weird to think of Chino on the same label as jagoffs like I See STars and Asking Alexandria haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the same thing could be said about Hot Water Music's label mates on Rise and Epitaph is shaping up to be the exact same way. It doesn't really mean anything overall and chances are Asking Alexandra money is paying for Animals as Leaders albums (I'm guessing Crosses brings in enough of their own loot, but who knows). I do agree that it's a weird singing, but oh well. Now if Crosses gets stuck touring with some of those bands, I might be upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad that we can get a wider vinyl release from this though (hopefully). and yeah that would suck if they toured with those shit bands but I doubt that would ever happen.

SaulManella Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I'm curious, are there any bands similar to this one? I listened to the first two EPs this morning for the first time in awhile and need more stuff like this. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 they're a pretty good mix of "rock"-like vocals mixed with a more rock-inspired witch housey electronic instrumentalism. That's how I see it at least. If you want Chino go Deftones and Team Sleep (you probably already know these). If you want witch housey stuff without getting into the super weird, I'd check out Balam Acab, Holy Other, OoOoo (or however it's capitalized), Forest Swords... etc. Anything on Tri-Angle.

Oh I'm a chino fanboy. I guess what I'm looking for is something witch housey with rock vocals. Is that a thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 If it is I don't know about it haha When Crosses came out I thought it was kind of unique because I've always loved Deftones and I had just gotten off a witch-house kick. The ones I listed are either more active instrumentals (Forest Swords), or witch house with more of like daze/haze chill vocals (Holy Other) or witchhouse with guest kind of rappy/not really vocals (OooOOo). I realize I'm explaining this very poorly but if you check them out you'll see. Nothing like Crosses, but, you'll notice the similarities.

radiatorhums Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 this video is only 4 posts back... Fuck, don't know how I missed that! Long night at work must have turned my brain into mush. I second the OooOOo suggestion. I would imagine if you dig Crosses, you'll probably enjoy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The thing that kills me is that each of the first two EP's could just be their own side of a single 12" and that could just be $15.99 alone. Sorry for bitching about costs but it really kind of seems wasteful not to do it that way. Also if the third album is going to be a full length, is it really going to be a 10"?

troymess Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 As expensive as it may be, I'll probably wind up ordering all of them. Maybe Amazon might have them cheaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
