Eugene, Oregon band Liquid Cross release the 'Hateful' EP, a melodic punk eruption that combines post-punk abrasion, rough-edged recording and choruses capable of surviving the disorder surrounding them.
The songs carry traces of French oi, The Wipers and the scruffy pop instinct of early Replacements records. Yet the EP’s aggression never replaces songwriting; beneath the buzz and shouting are hooks built for communal chanting in sweaty rooms. 'Hateful' is music for leaving dive bars together, arguing about songs, and celebrating noisy rock and roll.
