CROSS IS SIGNED TO PROGROCK RECORDS AND RELEASES THE ALBUM “PLAYGROUNDS”
31 Jul 2011
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 16 June 2005 – Cross has existed since the late 80's, always lead by guitarist, vocalist Hansi Cross. After several changes of musicians Hansi has found the right musicians to collaborate with in Tomas Hjort (drums) and Lollo Andersson (bass, background vocals). The members feel a strong unity in the band in the form it exists today and the creativity is very high. Some very fine contributions from Grand Stand's keyboard player Olov Andersson makes it even better on this, the latest release. Cross' music is best described as "timeless progressive rock" as they often are compared to old school prog bands such as Genesis, ELP, UK and Pink Floyd as well as contemporary acts like IQ, It Bites or Arena when reviewers try to describe this unique act. Cross is the cornerstone of the Swedish label “Progress Records” whose president is frontman Hansi Cross. Through a new partnership with ProgRock Records, this is the third of several artists on Progress that will be released in North America. ProgRock Records President, Shawn Gordon, had this to say about the continuing relationship: “I keep hearing more and more great music coming out of Sweden, it’s great to have a partner like Progress that makes it easy to bring to the North American audience.”. “Working with ProgRock Records is pure joy. These guys are totally professional and make thing's happen", said Progress Records President Hansi Cross. Playgrounds is the first release by Cross on ProgRock Records, but their eighth release overall. This latest release shows the continued evolution and maturity of Cross and their ability to craft a good tune.
