Art Offensive

Formerly known as BLACK WIDOWS, BLACK CROSS features members of BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THE NATIONAL ACROBAT and ENDPOINT. Produced and recorded by J. ROBBINS, former member of BURNING AIRLINES, JAWBOX and GOVERNMENT ISSUE and producer of JETS TO BRAZIL, PROMISE RING, KEROSENE 454, Art Offensive finds BLACK CROSS stepping away from their collective influences and finding a voice all their own. Alternately more melodic and at times far more chaotic and destructive than their previous efforts, the songs contained within still draw inspiration from DC hardcore and arty mathrock while funneling early punk rock and even a wide variety of indie rock. It's catchy, devastating, personal, political, inspiring, foreboding, anthemic and back again, all within a scant 26 minutes.
