Liquid Cross - Hateful EP

Liquid Cross is a punk band from Eugene, Oregon, formed in 2025. Starting in a garage with minimal gear the group quickly found a voice in writing fast, abrasive songs with a dark edge. Once their permanent bassist joined, the lineup solidified, and the band began capturing their sound using whatever borrowed equipment was available. The band's first EP “Don’t Think” received critical acclaim with songs being featured on Henry Rollins KCRW radio show. Their second release “Hateful EP” is being released this June on Strange Mono.

Drawing influence from the Saints and the Wipers, Liquid Cross blends classic punk urgency with a distinctly Pacific Northwest atmosphere. Members bring experience from other projects: Jon (Ball Pythons, Cool Piss), Travis (End Time), and Kelly (Milked, Geronimo!). Their approach is driven by the raw and immediate energy of conviction.

The Hateful EP was self-recorded entirely by the band. Final mixing was done by Ian Norris (The Shield). The tape includes a hidden track exclusive to the physical release and more brilliant cover art by Kevin McCarthy (Rank/Xerox). The Hateful EP is a natural progression from their first release, tackling the political heaviness of daily life in the United States and ripping through to the other side with full blown sonic annihilation.
