It's been four years since their first album, "Art Offensive," and Black Cross finally return with their long awaited second full-length, "Severance Pays." On these ten songs they have focused their patented melodic-yet-noisy hardcore sound while digging deeper into earlier melodic punk influences such as Wipers, Husker Du, and Gray Matter. This Louisville super group includes Rob Pennington (vocals - Endpoint, By The Grace Of God), Ryan Patterson (guitar - Coliseum, The National Acrobat), Evan Patterson (guitar - Young Widows, Breather Resist), Nick Theineman (bass - Young Widows, Breather Resist) and Forrest Kuhn (drums - Halifax Pier, Sunspring).
