Cross : A Miles De Kilometros De Aca




Cool Uruguayan band I found through Mercenario's blog.

Cross played raw, simple punk/rawk/metal, hopping around between styles a bit. Nothing especially fancy here, but I really like something about the energy of this band. According to their bio, they were one of the first bands to emerge after the end of Uruguay's military dictatorship, and perhaps this is why they seem happy just to get a bit dirty and rock in a way that eludes more cynical & complacent first-world bands.

Listen to track 3, Crudo y Salvaje, and be convinced.




This came out in 1997, and was Cross's last release as a group, and first on Cd (though you-tube videos show that some re-formed version of the group has been active in recent years).
