Album Notes & Community Reviews

Standing as their final full-length record, 'Risk Revival' finds Hot Cross dialing back the chaotic screamo elements of their inception in favor of tight, progressive post-hardcore structures. The album boasts intricately woven dueling guitars and anxious, predominantly clean vocals punctuated by aggressive outbursts. It serves as a technically impressive swan song that highlighted the changing tides within the mid-2000s punk underground.
