_“Portland, Oregon’s Old Cross hearken back to the best of the 2000s melodic punk
scene, pulling influences from AFI, The Used, and Alkaline Trio. They’ve made a 
name for themselves with their unique blend of power and melody.”- **New Noise**_

_“The three-piece create high-octane hybrid music that fuses ‘90s/‘00s California-
style punk-pop with darker melodic hardcore.”- **Rebel Noise**_

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**. They are set to release their
new album **_“Dead End Lullabies”_** on October 25th.

The latest single **“The Attic”** tackles momentary existentialism with honest, 
poetic verses and explosive melodic choruses. The slight ominous overtones throughout
bring an intense cinematic quality to the newest addition to the band’s catalogue.

Frontman **Chris Hahn** says, _“The Attic was originally written a decade ago after
losing a close friend and was never officially released. Since the new album will
basically be an anthology of the last 3 years following my dad’s passing, The Attic
felt relevant and right at home with the newly written record.”_
