Hot Cross
 

I love these guys, from the amazing screaming, lovely harmonies and heavy music. everything about them is great.

One of my favourite hardcore bands.

Favourite songs :

Pretty picture of a broken face
Patience and Prudence

I only have Cryonics but it's awesome.

Sorry, if there is another thread similair, but i've checked and haven't seen any.

So, thoughts on them ?

I'm seeing them in two weeks.

Good band.

I'd say their first ep is their best.

They're emo, not hardcore. They're amazing. I really dig the guitar.

Ok,
LOL, i don't know anything about hardcore/emo.

Awesome band, Cryonics and Fair Trades and Fairwells are both amazing.

123

Dissertation: 14 and Figure 8 are my favorite songs off Cryonics.

get fair trades and farewells too.

Hot Cross are awesome. I've never heard anything quite like them.

Amazing band
**** not lest ye be ****ed is a great line.
I love the 3 singers
Great guitar

I think A Tale For The Ages is their best song.

Fortune Teller, Figure 8 and Prepare/Repair are the best.

Probably my favorite band. I love A New Set Of Lungs, my favorite song off it is History Fell In The Heart Broke Open.

I have Cryonics. Good album.

"A Tale For The Ages" is ****ing incredible. Dual guitars and vocals are so amazing. Fantastic band.

Cryonics > Fair Trades

I have Cryonics and A New Set Of Lungs... The recording for A New Set Of Lungs isn't of very good quality. I love Cryonics, though.

"Solanka" rules also.

Yeah, I love their music. The guitar and basslines are so complex yet not erratic like some other bands. It all flows so nicely.

a new set of lungs is amazing. to me the recording quality fits perfectly with the songs.

this is one of my favorite bands, and definitely my favorite of the genre. i have a new set of lungs, cryonics, and fair trades and farewells. i like the other two better than fair trades, but there isn't a song on any of them that i don't like. i couldn't even begin to pick a favorite song, but the song i listen to most is probably frozen by tragedy. when i am relaxing i can listen to that song over and over.

Patience and Prudence converted me to emo.

Great band. Definetly one of my first emo bands I listened too. I like the song Throw Collers To The World.

i can't wait until im able to get their albums. until then i am confined to having to listen to them only at my computer :(

It is probably just my copy of it because, it doesn't sound very great at all.

Almost all their songs rule. Fortune Teller is awesome.

"Fair Trades" is probably my favorite, the energy, intricacy, and heart are all foregrounded really niceley on it, while the other records seem a little muddled by comparison. A lot of bands don't hold up well against that degree of slickness, but Hot Cross is clearly competent enough that it suits them well.

I wonder if they will get another guitarist to stick with the duel guitars.

Nah, they said on their website they're sticking as a four-piece and the new stuff only has one guitar in it.

If the bass gets more manic and higher in the mix, they can probably get away with not finding a new second guitar, personally, I think the deuling guitars are part of what makes "fair trades" so compelling, cause it's visceral in a really intriguing way. If they just got for the gut with low bass and full chords, I don't think it'll be as intriguing.

Yeah I hope their new stuff won't be too much different to Fair Trades. Apparently they are in the process of writing a new LP and EP for release in early '06.

I quite like them as well its late and im too lazy to name my favourite songs. I think their more hardcore punk like strike anywhere and i liked rancid dan's description of them lol. see you tomorrow rancid dan. Any thoughts?

love this band, recently got cyronics at last, can't stop playing it.fav songs are: figure 8, a tale for the ages, putting the past right off a new set of lungs and patience and prudence...but mostly everything they have done has no faults

i have "cryonics" and a "new set of lungs", and "cryonics" is much better because there is more exposure of backup/secondary vocalists. Although "a new set of lungs" is still wicked good. My favorite songs are a tale for the ages and fortune teller. I still need to pick up "fair trades..."

Does anyone know where I might find a live vid of them?

I'm seeing them with Fall of Troy and Chiodos on the 17th.

Chiodos? Who are they? My little brother wanted to see them and asked me if I wanted to go. He then mentioned it was "Hardcore Night" at the venue.

great band.

your two favorite songs are two of mine as well.

What are my two favorite songs?

yeh i like all there songs :amaze:
*great band* :thumb:

Awesome band, I only have Cryonics and it is excellent.

Hardcore punk? They're emo, no question about it :p

They're seriously amazing. I started listening to them (Solanka was the first song I heard of them) because they sounded a bit like The Fall of Troy and it's what got me into emo.
