Have it released on a well known label and begin to establish a mainstream-target audience and get more press lately? check.
Lose your punk ethics? check.
Play barely ANY "Cryonics" songs (only one - "fortune teller") at your shows? check.
Tour with Chiodos? check.
Tour with Circa Survive? check.
Have Josh leave the band? check.


Basically what I'm getting at is....Hot Cross simply wasnt "Hot Cross" anymore.


I'm really hoping mister Casey Boland goes into another music project a.s.a.p. though. Every band that dude is in turns to gold!
all good points but I think everyone is being too hard on the new cd. Sure it's a shitty hot cross album but if someone else put it out I wouldn't hate it. They shred pretty good in it ^_^. But yeah....they've been on some atrocious tours lately. They totally lost the DIY ethic billy used to preach about back in the day. Fuggin gai.
