On Tuesday, February 20th, Hot Cross will release their first full-length album in over three years, Risk Revival on Hope Divison / Equal Vision Records.

Featuring a founding member of Interpol, and members of mid-90’s hardcore bands Saetia, Off Minor, Neil Perry, and You & I, Hot Cross partnered with Hope Division/Equal Vision in 2006, after having released a handful of albums and split releases on drummer Greg Drudy’s Level Plane Records.

Look for Hot Cross to host two album release shows in New York and Boston in late February, then begin stateside touring in March.
